Earth Science at Queen's
Not directly. At Queen's University you apply to Science – Earth and Environmental Science (QSE), then choose earth science during Plan Selection in May at the end of first year.
The program you actually apply to
Earth and Environmental Science Pathway
80–87%OUAC QSECo-op available
Prerequisites
- ENG4U
- MCV4U
- 2 of SBI4U, SCH4U, or SPH4U
- 2 Additional 4 U/M courses
When you choose earth science
During Plan Selection in May at the end of first year.
What to watch for
The plans are called Geological Sciences and Earth System Science — both verified in the Arts and Science listing — not "Earth Science", so searching that exact phrase returns nothing. Do not confuse these with Geological Engineering, a Smith Engineering discipline reached through the engineering common first year (QE) with Chemistry 4U and Physics 4U required. CODE CAVEAT: confirm QSE on OUAC.
The same application also gets you to
Earth and Environmental Science Pathway is the entry point for 1 other major at Queen's. You are not choosing between these at application time.
