Geosciences

Students wishing to major in Geography within the BA degree should complete 12 credit points at 100-level, at least 18 credit points at 200-level, and a minimum of 24 credit points at 300-level from the subjects listed below. At 200- and 300-levels students may choose to emphasise either the Human Geography or the Physical Geography aspects of the discipline, or to combine them. Students anticipating a career in teaching would be well advised to choose options from both areas, and may also choose Geology subjects depending on the prerequisites. Students in the BA wishing to major in Geology must combine this major with a second major offered by a Faculty of Arts Program.
