Program details
Overview
Environmental Geoscience is a Bachelor of Science offered through the College of Arts and Science at the University of Saskatchewan, available as a four-year or honours degree. The program examines how geological processes interact with human activity and the environment, drawing on geochemistry, sedimentology, geomicrobiology, geophysics, mineralogy, paleontology, and hydrogeology to build understanding of Earth systems across past, present, and future timescales. Coursework combines classroom study with laboratory work and field trips across Saskatchewan, giving students direct exposure to data collection and analysis methods used in the geosciences. Students may study full-time or part-time and can enter directly from high school or begin off-campus through flexible learning options. Graduates become eligible to register with the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Saskatchewan as Professional Geoscientists-in-Training. The program suits students drawn to environmental science and Earth systems who want a science-based route into work such as hydrogeology, water-quality management, mine-site reclamation, contaminated-site remediation, or environmental consulting, whether with private firms or government agencies. Its blend of chemistry, biology, and physics with fieldwork also appeals to those considering graduate study in geoscience or environmental science.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:70.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Direct entry from high school requires senior secondary mathematics and a minimum overall admission average of 70%, assessed against the applicant's own curriculum: Saskatchewan applicants need Foundations of Mathematics 30 or Pre-Calculus 30 (Pre-Calculus recommended for a Bachelor of Science stream), with an equivalent senior math course required from other provinces and countries; students missing the course can still be admitted with a math deficiency to clear under advisement. Applications are assessed on a rolling basis until seats fill, and applicants below 70% may be considered for the University of Saskatchewan Transition Entrance Program or special (mature) admission. Applicants whose first language is not English must meet USask's English proficiency requirement, shown on this programme's own admission page as IELTS Academic overall 6.5 with a minimum of 6.0 per band, or TOEFL iBT overall 4.5 with a minimum of 4.0 per section (the university-wide equivalents also include Duolingo English Test 120, PTE Academic 63 and CAEL 70), or through prior English-medium study.
Application Details
Start Date:September, January, May and July
Application Deadline:The University of Saskatchewan does not publish fixed general application deadlines for its direct-entry undergraduate colleges (Agriculture and Bioresources, Arts and Science, Education, Edwards School of Business, Engineering, Kinesiology, Dental Hygiene, Dental Therapy): admission requirements and deadlines for the 2027-28 cycle become available only once applications open on 25 September 2026, and the site gives no separate international closing date. Non-direct professional programs set their own dates instead: for September 2027 entry, the College of Law's JD opens 15 October 2026 with rolling review to a 1 February 2027 documents deadline and is not currently accepting international applicants; the College of Medicine's MD applications close 1 October 2026 for domestic (Canadian citizen/PR) applicants only; and the Nutrition program's single deadline is 15 March 2027 for both domestic and international applicants, with no late applications considered. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
