Program notes
- Some upper level EOS courses have additional prerequisites. Students are recommended to check the prerequisites of upper level courses of interest when choosing electives.
- 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.
- The 9.0 units numbered 200 or higher cannot also be used to fulfil the requirements of a student's Honours, Major or General program, or Option. Any course disqualified from the Minor Program by overlap with the requirements of the Honours, Major or General Program, or Option, may be replaced by another Earth Science Minor course at the same level or higher.
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.
