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 APEGGA, 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.

Same as the Major degree program in Geology except that the Honours program must include:

• 1.0 FCE - Geology 510
• 0.5 FCE - Geophysics 453 or 565

5.0 FCE in the field of Geology

(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.
