I have always wanted to be a teacher, and I decided to make that dream a reality. Brock was one of the few universities that was close to my hometown of Guelph where I could complete my Bachelor of Education and Bachelor of Arts Honours degree concurrently. I have made so many wonderful connections through my time at Brock that I will cherish. Everyone is so welcoming and willing to help. I am so grateful I chose Brock because it feels like home.”

Earth Sciences

Briefcase �� GLOBE gavel

• BSc in Earth Sciences

• Minor in Earth Sciences

The Earth Sciences program trains geoscientists — scientists who study the Earth and other planets in order to better understand their origin and history. Using this knowledge, geologists find the resources that make modern life possible (such as iron, lithium, nickel, copper, potash, oil and gas), study and warn of hazards (such as volcanoes and earthquakes), and work on understanding global climate change.

The Earth Sciences program provides the basis for a career with opportunities on every continent and with any combination of indoor and outdoor work. Geoscientists work on refining our planetary knowledge — there are still many undiscovered resources and coarsely-mapped areas of our planet as well as unclear periods of Earth’s history.

Geological knowledge derived from the Earth also helps us to understand other solar system bodies; two of our professors are planetary geologists. Professor Mariek Schmidt is a Participating Scientist on the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover mission, which is searching for signs of ancient microbial life on Mars. Perseverance is Professor Schmidt’s third Mars rover mission, making her one of the world’s most experienced Mars rover scientists, but she also studies volcanoes on Earth to better understand Martian volcanic rocks, including their potential as habitat for microbial life.

Brock’s program is designed to comply with the educational requirements for registration as a geoscientist-in-training, the licensing classification that leads to the PGeo designation established by the Association of Professional Geoscientists of Ontario.

Career opportunities

• Professional geoscientist (PGeo designation)

• Minerals exploration geologist

• Mining geologist

• Hydrogeologist

• Paleontologist

Environmental Geoscience

• BSc in Environmental Geoscience

Environmental geoscientists apply their unique understanding of the Earth’s composition, structure and physical processes to monitor, protect and remediate the environment as well as predict geologic and hydrologic hazards. These geoscientists are required to meet environmental and resource management challenges within regulations and are also involved in designing those regulations.

Current trends suggest that in North America employment in the environmental geoscience disciplines will grow faster than the average for other occupations.

During their studies, students get the opportunity to explore the impact of human activity on the local scale by examining local watersheds with Professor Uwe Brand. Managing watersheds is of increasing importance as we increase population density dependent on local water resources. Two professors, Francine McCarthy and Martin Head, are very active in helping to define the Anthropocene as a formal geological epoch, defined by significant human impact on Earth’s systems. Research on Crawford Lake in Southern Ontario, co-ordinated by McCarthy and involving nine Canadian Institutions, has shown this site to be amongst the best in the world to define this new interval of geologic time.

Brock’s program is designed to comply with the educational requirements for licensing as a geoscientist-in-training, leading to the PGeo designation established by the Association of Professional Geoscientists of Ontario.

Study Geography in Niagara — one of the world’s most diverse social and natural landscapes — in a program that bridges the social and natural sciences to understand the Earth, humans and non-humans, and environments. More than maps, Geography is comprised of three fields, Human Geography, Physical Geography and Geomatics:

Human Geography (BA) investigates the worlds of humans and non-humans, and their interactions with environments and built and symbolic landscapes, to foster more socially and environmentally just societies in an ever-changing world.

Physical Geography (BSc) explores the interactions of weather and climate patterns, and landform development, with the biosphere. This includes processes at the Earth’s surface that interact with, affect, and are affected by, human activities in order to comprehend and mitigate climate change, and promote environmental justice and responsibility.

Geomatics involves scientific and technological practices that integrate cartography, remote sensing (including drone technologies) and geographical information systems (GIS). All these hightech specialties are crucial to academia, government, business and the military.

Each of the three fields of geography combine theory, practice and experiential learning in classes that include labs, seminars, field studies and internships.

Our professors have expertise in everything from urban/rural planning and social movements to environment and climate change. Their courses incorporate interactive elements — including studying Brock’s campus, the Niagara Peninsula and places around the world — to help you apply what you learn in class beyond your time at university.

Student-run social events enhance the Geography-experience, sponsored by the Tourism and Geography Society.

Applying to Brock

Step 1: Select a program

After exploring your options at Brock, select the program you wish to pursue.

Applying to multiple Brock programs?

Please note: you can expect to receive and hold an offer of admission to only one Brock program at a time. When more than one Brock program is indicated on the application, the highest choice listed for Brock will be considered first. If you are not eligible for your first choice, we will consider your subsequent choices (in the order of preference you have indicated). If you apply to only one Brock program and do not qualify, in most cases consideration will be given for an alternate and related program.

If you apply for but are not admitted to a co-op program, you will be considered automatically for the regular non-co-op program (if you have not included a second choice on the application).

Step 2: Review admission criteria

Admission information will vary depending on what type of applicant you are.

Ontario secondary school applicants should refer to the admission chart found on pages 96 to 101 for specific criteria required for each program. Your six highest 4U or 4M grades, including prerequisite subjects, will be included in the calculation of your final admission average. Please note: co-op credit cannot be used as one of your 6 4U or M credits.

All other applicants should use this information as a guideline to determine the prerequisite courses for each program. Equivalent courses may be considered. Refer to the following pages in this book for additional information related to your specific applicant type. Visit brocku.ca/admissions/requirements for more information.

Indigenous students

Don't forget to self-identify!
