The Earth Sciences programs require a core of earth sciences courses, corequisite courses in the other sciences, and a selection of electives suited to the interests of individual students.

Combined Honours and Major programs offered in collaboration with the Department of Physics and Astronomy provide specialization in either Geophysics or Ocean-Atmosphere Dynamics and allow students to apply basic principles of physics and mathematics to fundamental global processes affecting the earth and oceans.

Combined Honours and Major programs offered in collaboration with the Department of Chemistry expose students to the fields of geochemistry while providing a firm basis in the principles of chemistry.

Combined Honours and Major programs offered in collaboration with the Department of Geography are aimed at students whose interests span the fields of physical geography and earth sciences.

Combined Honours and Major programs offered in collaboration with the Department of Biology offer students the opportunity to combine interests in both disciplines.

The School of Earth and Ocean Sciences offers honours and major degrees. Given our interdisciplinary nature, we also have a number of joint degrees offered with other departments.

Students in the SEOS Honours Program work with a faculty member to complete an independent research project, usually over the last year of the student's program. Most Honours degree programs also specify several additional classes or electives. All students who meet the eligibility requirements are encouraged to take advantage of this unique research experience, particularly those who plan to go to graduate school or pursue a career in earth, ocean, or climate sciences.
