Overview

The Master of Science in Geology is a graduate degree delivered on campus and online, combining theoretical study, research, and laboratory and field experience. It is offered in two streams: a thesis-based, full-time stream comprising four one-term graduate courses plus a thesis, with research areas spanning economic geology, ore deposit geology, experimental and field petrology, geophysics, geochemistry, igneous and metamorphic petrology, mineralogy, paleontology, sedimentology, structural geology, and volcanology; and an eight-course, course-based Applied Mineral Exploration stream aimed at working professionals and full-time students, completable in as little as one year and open for entry in September, January, or May. Admission to the thesis-based stream requires a B.Sc. honours degree with a minimum B average; the Applied Mineral Exploration stream requires a B.Sc. honours degree in the earth sciences with a minimum B average on a domestic or WES-evaluated transcript.
