University of Manitoba offers BA/BS in Earth Sciences, a bachelor's degree in Earth Sciences & Geology programme in Winnipeg, Canada. The programme runs for 3 years. Tuition for international students is CAD 804 per credit (CAD 188 per credit for local students).
This general Bachelor of Science in Earth Sciences studies the history of the Earth and its life as recorded largely in rocks, giving students the theoretical and instrumental grounding used in resource extraction, mineral processing, and environmental problem-solving. Offered at the General level (three years, ninety credit hours) with an eighteen-credit-hour Minor option, it is delivered at the Fort Garry campus within the Clayton H. Riddell Faculty of Environment, Earth, and Resources. Unlike the university's separate Geology and Geophysics degrees, this general program carries no specialized major or stream; it is structured to give students a basic grounding in earth sciences paired with a concentration of courses in a second subject area. The program is not intended for students seeking a career in the geosciences, but rather suits those planning to pursue a Bachelor of Education or wanting broader earth sciences knowledge alongside another area of study. It functions as a foundational or combined-subject option rather than a specialist geoscience credential.

Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens and permanent residents) apply directly to the University of Manitoba. As of this September 2026 fetch, the Direct Entry deadlines page shows only the Fall 2026 cycle in full - University 1 and the Diploma in Agriculture at May 1, 2026 domestic / March 1, 2026 international, other Direct Entry programs at March 1, 2026 - a cycle that has already closed, alongside minor Winter 2027 (Dec 1, 2026) and Summer 2027 (Apr 1, 2027) intake deadlines. No Fall 2027 Direct Entry deadline has been published yet, so specific 2027 dates cannot be stated for the university's main intake. The Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Jazz Studies deadline (January 15, applying equally to domestic and international applicants) is likewise confirmed only for the 2026-27 cycle, also closed, with no 2027-28 bulletin posted. These are described as fixed deadlines rather than rolling admission, and the university opens each new cycle's applications on October 1. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
