The study of Earth Sciences integrates principles from physics, chemistry, and biology to illuminate a wide variety of natural phenomena. The major program exposes students to the foundations of the geoscience curriculum (mineralogy, petrology, geological structures and maps, field techniques, Earth evolution, etc.). Careers available are similar to those of the Geoscience Specialist although the Major gives more flexibility to someone wanting to minor or double major in another field. Students are advised to be aware of course prerequisites, check clusters of courses listed for the geoscience major program, and consult the Earth Sciences Undergraduate Handbook for logical course progressions. For further questions, please consult with the Student Affairs Coordinator (Scott Moore, Department of Earth Sciences, 22 Ursula Franklin St., Earth Sciences Center, Room 1062 email: ugrad@es.utoronto.ca).
