In BC and across Canada, provincial legislation requires geoscientists to be professionally registered for many types of work. In BC the organization that regulates Professional Geoscientists is Engineers & Geoscientists BC. Getting a professional designation is the next step after university, and many students prepare for this by joining EGBC as a student member. After earning a geoscience degree, graduates that qualify may register as a Geoscientist-in-Training with EGBC, and later qualify as a Professional Geoscientist.
While earning a Bachelor of Science degree, students need to carefully select courses that meet EGBC’s required syllabus.
