Bachelor of Science Program in Geography

  • Students who have successfully completed PSYC 2019H are exempt from the GEOG 2080H requirement for the joint-major or minor in Geography. This exemption will not, however, alter the minimum number of credits in Geography required for the degree.

  • Students who have taken MATH 1052H and achieved a grade of at least 75% are exempt from taking GEOG 2080H, and from the GEOG 2080H prerequisite for other Geography courses. This exemption will not, however, alter the minimum number of credits in Geography required for the degree.

  • GEOG 1030H and 1040H are prerequisites for most upper-level Geography courses. Students should check individual course descriptions for prerequisites.

The single-major Honours program. 20.0 credits including the following 11.5 credits:

  • 2.5 GEOG credits consisting of GEOG 1030H, 1040H, 2080H, 2090H, and 3100H

  • 0.5 credit from ERSC 1010H, 1020H, GEOG 1060H, or SAFS 1001H

  • 1.0 GEOG credit from GEOG 2180H, 2310H, 2320H, 2710H, or 2810H

  • 0.5 credit from the TSE Capstone Course List*

  • 5.0 GEOG science credits at the 3000 level or beyond in addition to the above

  • 1.5 GEOG science credits at the 2000 level or beyond in addition to the above

  • 0.5 MATH credit consisting of MATH 1051H

In addition to the program requirements listed above, students must satisfy the University degree requirements, including 0.5 credit from the Approved Indigenous Course List and 14.0 science credits including 1.0 MATH credit.

The joint-major Honours program. 20.0 credits including the following 8.0 credits:

  • 2.5 GEOG credits consisting of GEOG 1030H, 1040H, 2080H, 2090H, and 3100H

  • 0.5 credit from ERSC 1010H, 1020H, GEOG 1060H, or SAFS 1001H

  • 1.0 GEOG credit from GEOG 2180H, 2310H, 2320H, 2710H, or 2810H

  • 0.5 credit from the TSE Capstone Course List*

  • 1.5 GEOG science credits at the 3000 level or beyond in addition to the above

  • 1.5 GEOG science credits at the 2000 level or beyond in addition to the above

  • 0.5 MATH credit consisting of MATH 1051H

In addition to the program requirements listed above, students must satisfy the University degree requirements, including 0.5 credit from the Approved Indigenous Course List and 14.0 science credits including 1.0 MATH credit.

The same course may not simultaneously satisfy the requirements of both programs in a joint-major degree, with the following exception: for students pursuing a joint-major degree in Geography and Environmental & Resource Science/Studies, one of ERSC 1010H, ERSC 1020H, CLIM-ERSC-GEOG 1060H, or SAFS 1001H may be used to simultaneously satisfy the requirements of both programs.
