Admission

See the sections on Enrolment Limitations under the Department of Geoscience and under Section 3 (Faculty Regulations).

Courses constituting the field of Geology
Geology Program Streams*

Students may focus their studies by following the Hydrogeology/Environmental Geoscience stream or the Solid Earth Geoscience stream. This entails choosing appropriate options, as outlined in the Required Courses – Major Program Section. More information can be found on the Department of Geoscience website.

*A stream is not a separate program, but rather a route or a suggested sequence of courses within the Geology program that students should take to focus their studies in a certain area.

15 units (2.5 full-course equivalents) - Breadth Requirement (see Notes)

12 units (2.0 full-course equivalents) - Options (Science options are recommended -- see Notes)

Notes:

  • The Major program may contain a maximum of 66 units (11.0 full-course equivalents) from the Field of Geology.
  • The Major programs must contain at least 9 units (1.5 full-course equivalents) at the 500 level or above from the Field of Geology.
  • 600-level courses are available to fourth year students with prerequisites and consent of the Department.
  • In order to meet the academic requirements for registration with APEGA, 6 units (1.0 full-course equivalent) from the Science Options and/or the Options must be chosen from one or more of biology, chemistry (3 units or 0.5 full-course equivalent maximum), computer science, physics (3 units or 0.5 full-course equivalent maximum), or statistics.
