Courses constituting the field of Geology (Petroleum Geology Concentration)

All courses labelled Geology excluding Geology 209, 301, 305, 307, 309, 377, 471

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).

42 units (7.0 full-course equivalents) â€“ Geology 201, 202 or 203, 313 or 423, 323, 333 or 311, 337, 343 or 341, 353 or 373, 381, 445, 463 or 483 or 461 or 583, 491 or 493, 577, 581 or 575 or 591

Students who have taken Geology 341 (discontinued) do not need to take, and may not receive credit for, either Geology 343 or 445. For these students, Geology 341 replaces Geology 343 and Geology 445 must be replaced with another 3 units (0.5 full-course equivalent) option from the field of Geology.

6Ìýunits (1.0 full-course equivalent) - Options from the field of Geology

6Ìýunits (1.0 full-course equivalent) - Geophysics 351, Geophysics 559

9Ìýunits (1.5 full-course equivalents) - Geology, Geophysics or Engineering options from the following:

Petroleum Engineering 507, 513, 515, 523, 525, 533, 543, 563, 573
- A maximum of two of these may be counted towards APEGA Geology requirements. Students are advised to take ENPE 523 first, and to take it in the Fall Term.

Courses in the field of geophysics
- Recommended Option: Geophysics 355.

6 units (1.0 full-course equivalent) - Physics 211 or 221, and 223

6 units (1.0 full-course equivalent) - Chemistry 201 or 211, and 203 or 213

3 units (0.5 full-course equivalent) - Mathematics 249 or 265 or 275

3 units (0.5 full-course equivalent) - Mathematics 253 or 267 or 277

3 units (0.5 full-course equivalent) - Science 311

6 units (1.0 full-course equivalent) - Science options: same as for Geology Major program (also, see Notes)

12 units (2.0 full-course equivalents) - Options (Science options are recommended - see Notes)

15 units (2.5 full-course equivalents) â€“ Breadth requirement (see Notes)

Notes:

The Major program may contain a maximum of 66 units (11.0 full-course equivalents) in the field of Geology, and the Honours program may contain a maximum of 78 units (13.0 full-course equivalents) in the field of Geology.
The Major program must contain at least 9 units (1.5 full-course equivalents) at the 500 level or above from the field of Geology.
In order to meet the academic requirements for registration with APEGA, 6 units (1.0 full-course equivalent) from the Science Options and/or the Options must be chosen from one or more of biology, chemistry (3 units or 0.5 full-course equivalent maximum), computer science, physics (3 units or 0.5 full-course equivalent maximum), or statistics.
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 (2.5 full-course equivalents) and Science 311 form the 18 units (3.0 full-course equivalents) non-science course requirements selected from Faculties other than the Faculty of Science. Of these 15 units (2.5 full-course equivalents), students must take at least 6 units (1.0 full-course equivalent) from the Faculty of Arts.

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 6 units (1.0 full-course equivalent) of the 9 units (1.5 full-course equivalents) of Geology, Geophysics or Engineering options:

6 units (1.0 full-course equivalent) - Geology 510

¹Geology 337 is a field school that runs for about 15-18 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 15 units (2.5 full-course equivalents) in that term (for a total of 18 units or 3.0 full-course equivalents).

²Geology, Geophysics or Engineering Option from the specified list.
