1.0 FCE - Physics 211 or 221, and 223 1.0 FCE - Chemistry 201 or 211, and 203 or 213 0.5 FCE - Mathematics 251 or 249 or 281 or Applied Mathematics 217 0.5 FCE - Mathematics 253 or 283 or Applied Mathematics 219 0.5 FCE - Mathematics 211 0.5 FCE - Science 311 1.0 FCE - Science options from the following (see Notes):
3.5 FCE - Breadth requirement: Non-science options (see Notes) 1.0 FCE - Options (Science options are recommended -- see Notes) Note: The Major program may contain a maximum of 10 FCE from the field of Geology, and the Honours program may contain a maximum of 12 FCE from the field of Geology. Note: The Major and Honours programs must contain at least 2 FCE at the 500 level or above from the field of Geology. Note: 600-level courses are available to fourth year students with prerequisites and consent of the Department. Note: In order to meet the academic requirements for registration with APEGA, the 1.0 FCE of Science options must be chosen from biology, chemistry (0.5 FCE maximum), computer science, physics (0.5 FCE maximum), or statistics. Note: These 3.5 FCE and Science 311 form the 4.0 FCE non-science course requirements selected from Faculties other than the Faculty of Science (see Table I, 3.4. Program Requirements for courses that may not be used to satisfy this requirement). Of these 4.0 FCE, students must take at least 1.0 FCE from the Faculty of Arts (see (d) Breadth requirement in 3.4 Program Requirements. |

Suggested Program Sequence
(Majors and Honours)
*Geology 337 and 435 are field schools which run for about 10-12 days prior to the Fall Term or after the Winter Term. Students taking a geology field school course in a term are permitted to register in an additional 2.5 FCE in that term (for a total of 3.0 FCE). **The Major and Honours programs must contain at least 2 FCE at the 500 level or above from the field of Geology. |
