Undergraduate programs

Earth Sciences are the natural sciences that deal with our planet’s composition, resources, and environment, its surficial features, and the formative and destructive processes that continue to shape it and the life it sustains.

Learn all of this and more in UNB’s earth science-related undergraduate programs, all of which include opportunities for field-based learning in our geologically diverse province and around the world.

Program options

Have a hands-on career

Careers in earth sciences offer opportunities for field and office work in many areas of the world with employment in environmental monitoring and remediation sectors, the mineral industry, including exploration for oil, metals, and industrial minerals, in government surveys, in university teaching and research, and as independent consultants to the mining industry and engineering and environmental organizations.

Geologists also offer their expertise in corporations and legal firms.
