Adherence to these programs will fulfill all course requirements for professional registration as set by the Association of Professional Geoscientists of Ontario (APGO) and the Canadian Council of Professional Geoscientists (CCPG). Programs require 4.5 Foundation Science courses. Students are responsible for ensuring course selections result in: fulfillment of current breadth requirements with at least 1.0 from each of category A and category B; and essay requirements, 2.0 courses, one of which may be the senior Earth Sciences 4490E thesis.
Required Courses 1st Year (common to all programs)
The completion of first-year requirements with no failures. Students must have an average of at least 70% in the following 3.0 courses:
1.0 course from: Chemistry 1100A/B and 1200B with an average of at least 60%; or the former Chemistry 1020 or 1050 with a minimum mark of 60%.
1.0 course from: (Physics 1028A/B, 1301A/B, 1401A/B or 1501A/B) and (Physics 1029A/B, 1302A/B, 1402A/B or 1502A/B) with an average of at least 60%; or the former Physics 1020, 1024, 1026 with a minimum mark of 60%.
0.5 course from: Calculus 1000A/B, 1100A/B or 1500A/B, Mathematics 1225A/B. A minimum mark of 60% in the course required.
