  • Geology course credits can be applied towards either a Minor in Earth Science with either a BSc or BA designation
  • Students can combine a Minor in Earth Science with other Major or Minor programs offered at VIU.  Some examples include: Chemistry, Biology, Anthropology, Geography, RMOT, Education, Mathematics, or Liberal Studies
  • By combining BSc Minors in both Earth Science and Geography, students can complete a degree with a strong emphasis on geoscience
  • The first two years of study in Earth Science at VIU can be transferred to another institution (i.e. UBC, SFU, or UVic) where students could complete a BSc Major in ‘Earth Science’ or ‘Earth and Ocean Science’.
  • Another option is to complete a BSc degree with a Minor in Earth Science followed by a BEd post-baccalaureate degree
  • Geology course credits can be applied towards elective requirements for other BSc and BA degrees at VIU
