The Lakehead Advantage
The fundamental goal of our Geology programs is to teach you how to map and identify rocks. This sets our students apart and contributes to a very high employment rate post-graduation working for organizations such as the Ontario Geological Survey and the Geological Survey of Canada.
Our location among the Canadian Shield is ideal for this type of organic, hands-on learning many other universities across Canada have to travel for hours to provide. Our field trips and extended field schools take place in Thunder Bay and the surrounding area, giving you great opportunities to apply in-class learning to real-world situations and materials.
Additionally, our strategic location has allowed us to maintain strong industry and community connections to facilitate summer research opportunities, mentorship, and experiential learning to supplement class time.
