This section presents the
requirements for:
Graduation Requirements
In addition to the requirements
listed below, students must satisfy:
- the University
regulations (see the Academic
Regulations of the University section of this Calendar),
- the Faculty regulations
applying to all B.Sc. students including those relating to First-Year
Seminar, Science Continuation and Breadth requirements (see the Academic
Regulations and Requirements for the Bachelor of Science Degree).
Students should consult
with the department, school or committee responsible for their program when
planning their program and selecting courses.
Most Honours and Combined
Honours programs in Earth Sciences require that students meet the Departmental
Language Requirement. This means that students must demonstrate, by passing
an appropriate course or special examination, reading proficiency in a language
other than English that is acceptable to the Department. This requirement
must be satisfied before the student enrols in 4000-level courses in Earth
Sciences.
The program descriptions
below make use of the following course categories that are defined in the
Academic Regulations for the Bachelor of Science Degree section of this Calendar.
