Geoscientists Nova Scotia has since 2001 followed the recommendations of the Canadian Geoscience Standards Board (CGSB), Geoscientists Canada (GC) for the Knowledge and Experience requirements for admission as a registered Professional Geoscientist.
Three streams exist for registration as a professional geoscientist in Nova Scotia.
They are:
Geology,
Environmental Geoscience,
Geophysics.
Each stream requires minimum total of 27 Educational Units (EU):
3 from Compulsory Foundation Science (1A);
6 from Additional Foundation Science (1B);
4 from Compulsory Foundation Geoscience (2A);
5 from Additional Foundation Geoscience (2B);
9 from Other Geoscience / Science (2C).
A one-semester course will typically count as one EU.
