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

Courses constituting the field of Geology (Petroleum Geology Concentration)

All courses labelled Geology excluding Geology 209, 297, 301, 305, 307, 308, 377, 471

Required Courses - Major Program

3 units - Option from the Field of Geology

9 units - 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 Petroleum Engineering 523 first, and to take it in the Fall Term.
Courses in the Field of Geology
- Recommended Options: Geology 401, 463 or 483 or 461 or 583, 537, 541, 545, 561, 579, 597.
Courses in the Field of Geophysics
- Recommended Option: Geophysics 355.

6 units - Physics 211 or 221, and 223

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

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

12 units - Options (Science options are recommended - see Notes)

15 units - Breadth Requirement (see Notes)

Notes:

The Major program may contain a maximum of 66 units in the Field of Geology.
The Major program must contain at least 9 units at the 500 level or above from the Field of Geology.
In order to meet the academic requirements for registration with APEGA, 6 units from the Science Options and/or the Options must be chosen from one or more of biology, chemistry (3 units maximum), computer science, physics (3 units 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 and Science 311 form the 18 units non-science course requirements selected from faculties other than the Faculty of Science. Of these 15 units, students must take at least 6 units from the Faculty of Arts.
