University of Saskatchewan offers BA/BS in Geological Engineering, a bachelor's degree in General Engineering programme in Saskatoon, Canada. The programme runs for 4 years. Tuition for international students is CAD 59,383 per year (CAD 12,269 per year for local students).
Geological Engineering is a Bachelor of Science in Engineering offered through the College of Engineering at the University of Saskatchewan, requiring 147 credit units across four years. Students begin with a common first-year core shared across engineering disciplines, then specialize in geological engineering through years two to four, taking core courses in civil engineering, geology, and geological engineering alongside humanities and social science electives and tiered elective groups. The curriculum covers structural analysis, geotechnical engineering, mineral deposits, hydrogeology, and professional practice, with advanced geology topics and environmental and specialized engineering options available as electives in upper years. Coursework draws on contributions from the Engineering, Geology, Civil Engineering, Chemistry, and Environmental Engineering departments. The program is delivered on campus. It suits students interested in applying engineering and geoscience together, particularly those aiming toward professional practice in mining, geotechnical, environmental, or other resource-related engineering roles, where an understanding of both ground conditions and engineering design is required.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:80.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Geological Engineering is entered through the College of Engineering's common first year: all students admitted to Engineering complete a shared first-year curriculum before declaring Geological Engineering and competing for a place in the upper-year program. For direct entry from a Saskatchewan high school the college requires Chemistry 30, Physics 30 and Pre-Calculus 30, each with a minimum grade of 70%, plus a regular-admission average of 80% (90% qualifies for early admission), calculated from the required Grade 12 subjects. English proficiency is USask's general undergraduate Language Proficiency Regulations (admissions.usask.ca/requirements/english-language-proficiency.php): IELTS Academic 6.5/6.0, TOEFL iBT 86/19, PTE Academic 63/59, Duolingo 120/100, CAEL 70/60. Requirements differ for applicants from other provinces or countries, and the college designates seats for verified Indigenous applicants. This is a Fall (September) intake only.
Application Details
Start Date:September
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.
