BSc in Earth Sciences in Halifax Canada | Dalhousie University

Dalhousie's earth sciences program begins with foundational knowledge, teaching you about the formation of geological structures and transformations occurring in Earth's solid core.

Our hands-on learning approach prepares you for professional achievement, including options like our international Advanced Field School in destinations such as Italy, Chile, or England. The Petroleum Field Program could lead you to Trinidad to examine working oil systems. We strongly recommend joining our cooperative education initiative for practical experience.
