The GIS program covers the on theoretical, technical and applied foundations for geographic information systems. Students learn methods for spatial data production, analysis and presentation using computer cartography, spatial analysis, remote sensing, and geovisualization. Problem solving and project design are emphasized in upper level courses, as students apply techniques to answer specific geographic questions. The GIS program is structured to provide a stand-alone minor for students in Geography and other disciplines seeking complementary skills in spatial analysis (e.g., field biology, archaeology).
Note: Students combining this program with a Specialist/Major sponsored by the Department of Geography will normally be allowed to count only 1.5 (of the 4.0) credits towards both programs.
This is an open enrolment program. A student who has completed 4.0 credits may enrol in the program.

This program gives the deepest level of education within the field of geology, preparing students for careers in the energy and mineral resources sectors, as a government-employed geoscientists, in geoscience research and in many other fields where geoscience knowledge is an asset. The program meets the requirements for gaining membership in the Association of Professional Geoscientist of Ontario (APGO) and similar organizations in other Canadian provinces and territories. The Geology Specialist Program focuses on core geology subjects, such as mineralogy and petrology, sedimentology, structural geology, mineral resources, hydrogeology, Earth history and geologic field mapping. Students are advised to be aware of course prerequisites, check clusters of courses listed for the Geology Specialist program, and consult the Earth Sciences Undergraduate Handbook for logical course progressions.

The Geophysics Specialist program allows students to model physical processes in and on Earth and other planets and to apply noninvasive methods of imaging the subsurface, often in 4D (i.e., space and time). Targets may range from archaeological investigations to groundwater imaging and mineral exploration, but also include modeling of mountain-building processes and the exploration of planetary bodies. Students are advised to be aware of course prerequisites, and consult the Earth Sciences Undergraduate Handbook.

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.

(b) Tectonics: JGA305H1, ESS245H1/ ESS345H1/ CSC108H1/ CSC110Y1, ESS321H1, ESS322H1, ESS424H1, ESS441H1, ESS445H1
(c) Environmental biogeochemistry: ESS261H1, ESS311H1, ESS312H1, ESS410H1, ESS461H1
(d) Geoarchaeology: ESS261H1, JGA305H1, ESS461H1, ESS450H1
The study of Earth Sciences (or “Geology” to use the Greek term) integrates the classical sciences of chemistry, physics and biology, and applies their principles to a diverse range of processes on Earth and other planets, from landform evolution to plate tectonics all the way to the origin and evolution of life and geomicrobiology. The Geoscience Minor program aims to give students as much leeway as possible to choose particular interests within the diverse and dynamic field of Earth Sciences. Students are advised to check course prerequisites, to review the clusters of courses listed for the geoscience major program, and to consult the Earth Sciences Undergraduate Handbook for logical course progressions. For further questions, please contact the Student Affairs Coordinator (Scott Moore, Department of Earth Sciences, 22 Russell St. Earth Sciences Center, Room 1062 email: ugrad@es.utoronto.ca).

HMB: Human Biology
Human Biology is a transdisciplinary field concerned with the study of human health from a biological, sociological, and evolutionary perspective. Research in human biology focuses on impact that genetic variations, development, physical fitness, and nutrition have on the general health of populations and how this compares across cultures and through history. The objective of the HMB: Human Biology major program is to provide students with a solid foundation in the life sciences as it relates to human biology and to facilitate the integration of concepts from across the social sciences and humanities, and to equip them with quantitative skills essential to research and success in this field.
This is an open enrolment program. A student who has completed 4.0 credits may enrol in the program.
Required Courses (8.0 credits, including a 0.5 credit at the 400-level)
To help students proceed through the program, it is recommended that first year life science requirements are completed before entering the program.

Human Biology Major Notes:
1. Courses can only count toward one requirement, even if listed as options to multiple requisites of the program.
2. Not all courses listed have priority enrolment for Human Biology majors. Students are responsible for checking priority of courses and meeting course prerequisites for courses they wish to take.
3. The Human Biology major cannot be paired with any other Human Biology Program managed major program.
The Human Geography programs provide the opportunity to learn about the relations between landscapes, places, people and nature, and the spatial organization of human activities. While students are encouraged to explore the breadth of the discipline, we also identify courses by theme for students who wish to develop expertise in one or two subfields (e.g., urban geography, cultural and historical geography). The Human Geography programs appeal to students who wish to develop an integrative understanding of the cultural, economic, political and social forces that shape how people use and experience the environments they live in. These programs offer training in quantitative and qualitative research methods, including GIS and Remote Sensing.
Note: Double majors in Geography may only overlap 1.0 credit. Students combining any of our Minor programs with a Major Geography program will normally be allowed to overlap only 1.5 credits towards both programs.
This is a limited enrolment program. Students must have completed 4.0 credits and meet the requirements listed below to enrol.
