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

Courses constituting the Field of Applied and Environmental Geology
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).

45 units - Geology 201, 202 or 203, 313 or 423, 323, 333 or 311, 337, 343, 353 or 373, 381, 401, 403 or 503, 445 or 341, 505, 571, 597

3 units - Option from the Field of Geology (Geology 441 is recommended)

6 units - Geophysics 351 or 355, 565

6 units - Physics 211 or 221, 223

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

3 units - Mathematics 249 or 265 or 275

3 units - Mathematics 253 or 267 or 277

3 units - Mathematics 211

3 units - Mathematics 331

3 units - Statistics 327

3 units - Science 311

12 units - Science or Engineering options chosen from the following (see Notes):

1Recommended options

9 units - Option (Science or Engineering options are recommended)

15 units - Breadth Requirement (see Notes)

Notes:

  • The Major program may contain a maximum of 66 units from the Field of Applied and Environmental 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, the Applied and Environmental Geology Majors program must include, in addition to the physics, chemistry and statistics courses already required in the program, 3 units in one of biology, chemistry, computer science, statistics or physics. This choice must be made from either the 12 units Science or Engineering Options or the 9 units Options for the Applied and Environmental Geology Majors program.
  • 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 18 units, students must take at least 6 units from the Faculty of Arts.
