HONORS EARTH SCIENCE PROGRAMS - For Professional Registration

Adherence to these programs will fulfill all course requirements for professional registration as set by the Association of Professional Geoscientists of Ontario (APGO) and the Canadian Council of Professional Geoscientists (CCPG). Programs require 4.5 Foundation Science courses. Students are responsible for ensuring course selections result in: fulfillment of current breadth requirements with at least 1.0 from each of category A and category B; and essay requirements, 2.0 courses, one of which may be the senior Earth Sciences 4490E thesis.

Required Courses 1st Year (common to all programs)
The completion of first-year requirements with no failures. Students must have an average of at least 70% in the following 3.0 courses:

1.0 course from: Chemistry 1301A/B and Chemistry 1302A/B with an average of at least 60%, or the former Chemistry 1100A/B and the former Chemistry 1200B with an average of at least 60%.

1.0 course from: (Physics 1028A/B, Physics 1301A/B, Physics 1401A/B or Physics 1501A/B) and (Physics 1029A/B, Physics 1302A/B, Physics 1402A/B or Physics 1502A/B) with an average of at least 60%; or the former Physics 1026 with a minimum mark of 60%.

0.5 course from: Calculus 1000A/B, Calculus 1500A/B or the former Calculus 1100A/B, Mathematics 1225A/B. A minimum mark of 60% in the course required.

0.5 course from: Earth Sciences 1022A/B, Earth Sciences 1023A/B, Earth Sciences 1070A/B, Earth Sciences 1081A/B, Earth Sciences 1083F/G. A minimum mark of 60% in the course is required.

1.0 course from: Applied Mathematics 1201A/B, Biology 1001A, Biology 1002B, Biology 1201A, Biology 1202B, Calculus 1301A/B, Calculus 1501A/B, Computer Science 1025A/B, Computer Science 1026A/B, Computer Science 1027A/B, Mathematics 1600A/B or the former Linear Algebra 1600A/B, Mathematics 1228A/B, Mathematics 1229A/B, Statistical Sciences 1023A/B, Statistical Sciences 1024A/B. This requirement must be completed by the end of second year.

1.0 additional course from category A or category B.

Note: The Professional Geophysics Program requires Calculus 1000A/B or Calculus 1500A/B, or the former Calculus 1100A/B, and, if taken, a minimum average of 80% in Physics 1028A/B and Physics 1029A/B.
