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
- 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 or fourth year.
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.

Contact Hours
Per-term contact hours by published section.
Each row shows the regular-term average per term, with summer field courses broken out separately.
Regular-term figures are averaged across the published terms in each section. Electives are simplified to 3-0-0 at minimum and 3-3-0 at maximum, scaled to the published unit count. Open a row to inspect the named courses and assumptions.
