This Co-op Academic Plan supplements the core Geology courses with courses from Physics, Math, Computer Science, and Engineering. It aims to graduate earth scientists with a strong background in the techniques of quantitative analysis particularly appropriate for geophysical exploration, hydrogeology, mathematical geology, and geotechnical careers.
