Program details

Overview

Yukon University's Earth Sciences diploma covers the first two years of a Bachelor of Science in geoscience, using the Yukon's geology and landscape as a field laboratory. Full-time study runs two years, with part-time study also available, and instruction combines campus coursework with field-school components led by dedicated instructors in small class sizes. Credits transfer to partner institutions, including Acadia University and Vancouver Island University, for completion of a geoscience degree. Admission requires English 12 and Math 12 Pre-Calculus at a minimum of 65 percent plus Chemistry 11, or equivalent Yukon University prerequisite courses (ENGL 060/EAP 060, MATH 060, and CHEM 050); an Earth Sciences Bridging Program is available for students who do not meet the standard requirements. Students need an overall GPA of 2.00 to receive the diploma. The September-start program suits students who want a hands-on, field-based introduction to geoscience before transferring into a full degree program.
