BA/BS in Geology at University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, Canada is a bachelor's degree in Earth Sciences & Geology programme. The programme runs for 4 years. Tuition for international students is CAD 40,894 per year (CAD 8,449 per year for local students).
This Bachelor of Science in Geology, offered through the College of Arts and Science, examines the Earth's structure and history, covering topics such as earthquakes, volcanoes, glaciers, plate tectonics, mineral formation, and past and present environmental change. Three variants are available: a three-year Bachelor of Science, a four-year Bachelor of Science, and an Honours stream. The first year establishes foundations in geology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics, after which students choose upper-level courses that include field mapping and other field-based geology courses providing hands-on fieldwork experience. The program is based on the Saskatoon campus, can be taken full-time or part-time, and admits students directly from high school. Access to research infrastructure, including synchrotron radiation facilities, supports coursework and student research. A long-standing student society associated with the department offers additional networking opportunities. Graduates become eligible to pursue professional registration. The program suits students interested in understanding Earth processes and natural hazards, as well as those aiming for careers in mineral exploration, environmental assessment, petroleum geology, or geological survey work, combining classroom instruction with practical field training.

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.
