The Undergraduate Calendar

 

 

Department of Geography & Environmental Management

Bachelor of Environmental Studies

Joint Honours Geomatics
Many Honours plans may be combined within and between faculties. However, before embarking on a Joint Honours plan, it is highly recommended that students consult with the undergraduate officer of both programs. Students must meet the requirements of both plans as stated in this Calendar and should be aware that combining some Honours plans may require more than the normal number of academic terms to complete.

Students choosing a Joint Honours plan with Geomatics as the second major must complete 5.5 units in Geography (GEOG), 2.0 units in Computer Science (CS), 0.5 unit in MATH, and 0.5 unit in Environmental Studies (ENVS).

  2. Minimum Required Courses
    The total number of units required is 8.5.
  3. Average Requirements
    Students must achieve a cumulative average of 70% in Geography (GEOG) and Environmental Studies (ENVS) courses and a 60% in Computer Science (CS) and Math (MATH) courses.
  4. Other courses from your home plan, equivalent to required CS, MATH, or ENVS courses, may substitute for the Joint Geomatics plan. Students must meet with the Geomatics plan advisor to review.
