Program Graph

Program requirements arranged by prerequisite flow.

The graph is driven by prerequisites from left to right (instead of year suggestions). The simplified view keeps the sequence readable while the full view is closer to the real data structure.

Published Description

Catalog text

This single degree program is composed of a selected combination of courses from the Department of Geography and the School of Earth and Ocean Sciences. Students may complete this program in either the Faculty of Social Sciences or the Faculty of Science. Those choosing a Social Sciences degree should consult the Social Sciences Faculty Program Requirements; those choosing a Science degree should must consult the Science Faculty Program Requirements.

Professional registration

With appropriate course selection, this program is intended to fulfill the Geoscientists Canada Knowledge Requirements for the Environmental Geoscience stream, which contribute the academic requirements for registration as a Professional Geoscientist (P.Geo.) through Engineers and Geoscientists British Columbia (EGBC). Students may contact either the School of Earth and Ocean Sciences or EGBC for a current list of course equivalents. EGBC academic requirements may be subject to change. EGBC has additional requirements for registration beyond academic requirements.

Program notes

  • Students who already have credit for an introductory Statistics course numbered 200 or above from another academic unit must consult with a Geography or SEOS Undergraduate advisor before registering in any of GEOG 226, STAT 255, 260. See "Credit Limit - Beginning Level Statistics Courses" in the Course Credit calendar section.
  • Most 400-level EOS classes are offered in alternate years. A schedule of when each class is offered is available on the School of Earth and Ocean Sciences website.

Contact hours are calculated using the listed lecture-lab-tutorial information in calendar. Hour ranges for electives are calculated assuming all 3-0-0 (min) and 3-3-0 (max).
