Students will normally apply for admission to the SEOS Honours Program at the end of the third year of their undergraduate Earth Sciences Program or combined program, although they may apply as early as the end of their second year and as late as the beginning of their last year. The general requirement for admission to the Honours Program is a cumulative GPA of 5.5 in 200-, 300-, and 400-level courses at the time of application.
An Honours degree requires:
If a student fails to meet the standards for the Honours degree, while meeting the Major degree requirements, the student may graduate with the appropriate Major degree.
Admission to the Earth Sciences Honours Program requires the permission of the School of Earth and Ocean Sciences.
For information on general admission requirements, refer to the Faculty of Science.
In addition to the requirements below, students should refer to requirements for the School of Earth and Ocean Sciences.
