Commencing in Fall 2014, Geology 313 will replace Geology 423, Geology 333 will replace Geology 311, Geology 343 will replace Geology 341, Geology 353 will replace Geology 373, and Geophysics 351 will replace Geophysics 355 as the core departmental courses for Majors and Honours students and will serve as prerequisites for the appropriate courses.

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

6.0 FCE â€“ Geology 201, 202 or 203, 313 or 423, 323, 333 or 311, 343 or 341, 353, 381, 435, 443, 461, 491

1.5 FCE - Geophysics 351, 449, 559

1.0 FCE - Geology, Geophysics or Engineering options from the following:

Petroleum Engineering 507, 513, 515, 523, 543
Courses in the field of geology
Courses in the field of geophysics

1.0 FCE - Physics 211 or 221, and 223

1.0 FCE - Chemistry 201 or 211, and 203 or 213

0.5 FCE - Mathematics 249 or 265 or 275

0.5 FCE - Mathematics 253 or 267 or 277

0.5 FCE - Mathematics 211

0.5 FCE - Science 311

1.0 FCE - Science options: same as for Geology Major program (also, see Notes)

1.0 FCE - Options (Science options are recommended - see Notes)

3.5 FCE â€“ Breadth requirement: Non-science options (see Notes)

Notes:

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.
In order to meet the academic requirements for registration with APEGA, 1.0 FCE from the Science Options and/or the Options must be chosen from one or more of biology, chemistry (0.5 FCE maximum), computer science, physics (0.5 FCE maximum), or statistics.
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

*Geology 435 is a field school that runs for about 14 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).

**A total of 2.0 FCE must be taken from: Geology 541, 561, 563, 575, 583, 585, 589, 591, 593, 595, 596, 613, 655, 677, 679.

***For this year only, both second-year and third-year students will be taking Geology 313 (third-year students will be taking it in place of Geology 423, which is cancelled, and second-year students will be taking it in place of Geology 311, which is also cancelled).
