Physical Geography Major
The department offers a bachelor of science (BSc) program in physical geography with three course streams targeting the academic requirements needed for employment or professional accreditation in the environmental and natural resource sectors.
(1) The biogeophysical science stream offers students a broad range of environmental science courses in physical geography, emphasizing biogeography, soils, hydrology, geomorphology and climatology. It targets the academic requirements needed to apply for registration as a Professional Agrologist in British Columbia, a skills-based professional accreditation required in the environmental and natural resource sectors.
(2) The geoscience stream offers coursework in environmental geoscience, emphasizing geomorphology, earth science, hydrology, soils and climatology. It targets the academic requirements needed to apply for registration as a Professional Geoscientist (environmental geoscience) in Canada, a skills-based professional accreditation required in the environmental and natural resource sectors.
(3) The geosystems and GIScience stream targets the requirements necessary to apply the theory and techniques of GIScience in the environmental and natural resources sectors.
Requirements for each stream are given below. Students should contact the student advisor to plan their course work.
Program Requirements
Students complete 120 units, as specified below.
Lower Division Requirements
Common Requirements
All students, regardless of the stream they choose, will complete a total of 31-34 units, including all of
Atomic and molecular structure; chemical bonding; thermochemistry; elements; periodic table; gases liquids, solids, and solutions. This course includes a laboratory component. Prerequisite: Chemistry 12 with a minimum grade of C, or CHEM 109 or 111 with a minimum grade of C-. Students with credit for CHEM 120 or 125 may not take this course for further credit. Quantitative/Breadth-Science.

Examines cultural heritage management as the universal process by which people use places, objects and traditions from the past to educate, entertain, profit, promote change, maintain status quo, create identities, and build communities and nations. The course presents archaeology as one aspect of cultural heritage management and as an activity governed by national laws and international conventions for protecting and making appropriate use of heritage. Using case studies from Canada and abroad, the course explores stewardship as a fundamental professional ethic in archaeology and other fields engaged in studying, applying, and safeguarding personal, familial, communal, national, and transnational heritage. Prerequisite: 30 units including one of ARCH 100, ARCH 101, ARCH 201, GEOG 100 or REM 100. Breadth-Humanities.
Introduces the nature and goals of Indigenous Studies as an academic discipline that emphasizes cultures and homelands of First Peoples. Students with credit for FNST 101 may not take this course for further credit. Breadth-Humanities/Social Sciences.

Geoscience Stream
The Professional Environmental Geoscience syllabus requirements of EGBC (Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia) can be met through this stream. Students must choose elective courses in consultation with an academic advisor because EGBC has specific groupings of elective courses in its Environmental Geoscience syllabus.
In addition to the common requirements shown above, students who choose this stream will complete 27 units, including all of
An introduction to the nature, origin and interpretation of stratified earth materials. Principles of lithostratigraphy, biostratigraphy and chronostratigraphy, sequence stratigraphy, the facies concept. Prerequisite: or Corequisite: EASC 210 with a grade of C- or better.
Introduction to crystallography, crystal chemistry and chemical properties and chemical principles necessary for the study of minerals. Prerequisite: EASC 101 and CHEM 121. All with a grade of C- or better.
