18 units (3.0 full-course equivalents) - Breadth requirement (see Notes)
12 units (2.0 full-course equivalents) - Options (science options are recommended)
Notes:
- Breadth requirement: Options from Faculties other than the Faculty of Science (check Table I in 3.4 Program Requirements for ineligible courses). Of these 18 units (3.0 full-course equivalents), at least 6 units (1.0 full-course equivalent) must be from the Faculty of Arts. Science 311 may be counted among the 18 units (3.0 full-course equivalents) from other Faculties.
- The Major program may contain a maximum of 66 units (11.0 full-course equivalents) from the field of Geophysics, and the Honours program may contain a maximum of 78 units (13.0 full-course equivalents) from the field of Geophysics.
- 600-level courses are available to fourth year students with prerequisites and consent of the Department.
- The Majors and Honours programs in Geophysics meet the current academic requirements for professional registration with APEGA.
