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.

Required Courses - Major Program

See also Section 3 (Faculty Regulations), Subsections 3.4A (Program Requirements - Major Degree Programs) and 3.5B (Introductory Courses for Science Degree Programs).

36 units - Geology 201, 202, 313, 323, 333, 337, 343, 353, 381, 435 or 441, 445, 493

3 units - Geophysics 351

18 units - Options from the Field of Geology

6 units - Geology, Geophysics or Engineering (GGE) options from the following (see Notes):

6 units - Physics 211 or 221, and 223

6 units - Chemistry 201 or 211, and 203 or 213

3 units - Mathematics 249 or 265 or 275

3 units - Mathematics 267 or 277

3 units - Mathematics 211

3 units - Science 311

6 units - Science options from the following (see Notes):

1Recommended options

15 units - Breadth Requirement (see Notes)

12 units - Options (Science options are recommended -- see Notes)

Notes:

  • The Major program may contain a maximum of 66 units from the Field of Geology.
  • The Major programs must contain at least 9 units 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 from the Science Options and/or the Options must be chosen from one or more of biology, chemistry (3 units maximum), computer science, physics (3 units maximum), or statistics.
  • Breadth Requirement: Options from faculties other than the Faculty of Science (check Table I in 3.4 Program Requirements for ineligible courses). These 15 units and Science 311 form the 18 units non-science course requirements selected from faculties other than the Faculty of Science. Of these 15 units, students must take at least 6 units from the Faculty of Arts.
