Notes

1 A language course at the 1000 or 2000 level is strongly recommended.
* This course is beyond the requirements of the programs in science.
** Some 3rd and 4th Year courses are offered on alternate years with the French equivalent.

This program can satisfy the academic requirements of the Association of Professional Geoscientists of Ontario. Check APGO website for current eligible courses which can be used for accreditation.

For students registered in the Faculty of Science: If the components of your program of study require common compulsory courses, you will have to replace the credits as follows: 
1) 1000-level courses must be replaced with electives; 
2) 2000-level courses and above must be replaced with courses from either discipline at the same level or above.

Please note that all programs in the Faculty of Science require a minimum of 12 credits from the Faculties of Arts, Education, Law, Social Science or the School of Management. Once you have decided on the replacement courses, please inform the Office of Undergraduate Programs of the Faculty of Science by email at infosci@uOttawa.ca so we may amend your Rabaska audit accordingly.

The extended French stream is available with this program.
Co-operative education is available with this program.
