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 the Department of Physics and Astronomy and the School of Earth and Ocean Sciences. Students complete this program in the Faculty of Science and must consult the Faculty Requirements.

Students should also refer to the Physics and Astronomy Requirements and the Earth and Ocean Sciences Requirements.

Program Notes

Catalog notes

Program notes

  • In choosing electives, it is recommended that students consider the prerequisite requirements for PHYS or EOS courses in Year 4.
  • 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.
  • One of EOS 427 or PHYS 427 is required in the program, and may be taken in either third of fourth year.
  • PHYS 460A and 460B are recommended for third- and fourth-year students.

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).
