The Earth and Ocean Sciences is a flexible specialization that can encompass the broad spectrum of disciplines within EOAS. Students may select courses that focus on geology, geophysics, oceanography or atmospheric sciences or choose courses for a broader overview of Earth Science in preparation for further degrees in education, pre-med, law, journalism, or other disciplines. With careful course selection an EOS major degree can be used towards professional registration as a geoscientist with APEGBC but it is recommended that students take subject specific degrees in Geology, Geophysics or Environmental Sciences to achieve this.
