B.Sc. Geology (Petroleum Geology Concentration)?

[Jas]

I have just switched over to Geology at Univeristy and due to scheduling conflicts my degree is going to take me 3 more years (5 years total) instead of 2 more years (4 years total).

It is for a B.Sc. Geology (Petroleum Geology Concentration)

I decided that I can make better use of this time by either:
1) Getting a double major with Geophysics or
2) Getting a minor in Geophysics and a minor in Applied and Environmental Geology

I live in Alberta and want to work for an oil and gas company. I don't know which choice will be more beneficial for me in the future. I would also like to add that I do want to get a masters degree as well.

Any suggestions?

If you want to work for petroleum company, option 1 is the best. If I were you, I will take bachelor's degree in Geology, and master's degree in Geophysics. That's if you are strong in computer and math.

In oil company, many geologists are working at Geophisics department (usually, it's research and development dept.), but never a geophysicist works as geologist (as far as I know).

You can only take Applied and Environmental Geology courses if you are not really sure that you want to work at oil industry. It's like you make other option to work at different field. They really have nothing in common.
