1.0 FCE - Science options: same as for Geology Major program (including note on APEGA)

1.0 FCE - Options (Science options are recommended)

3.5 FCE – Breadth requirement: Non-science options (see Notes)

Note: The Major program may contain a maximum of 10 FCE in the field of Geology, and the Honours program may contain a maximum of 12 FCE in the field of Geology.

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.

Required Courses - Honours Program

Same as the Major degree program in Geology (Petroleum Geology Concentration) except that the following course is taken in place of the 1.0 FCE of Geology, Geophysics or Engineering options:

1.0 FCE - Geology 510
