NOTES: 1MATH 1680 or MATH 1690 may be taken in place of MATH 1500 or MATH 1510 and MATH 1700 or MATH 1710 and MATH 1300 may be taken in place of MATH 1210. 2 MATH 2720 and MATH 2730 may be taken in place of MATH 2130 and MATH 2132. Students should note that MATH 1300 is a prerequisite to MATH 2720 and a corequisite to MATH 2730. 3 MATH 2600 may be taken in place of MATH 2120 4 GEOL 4740 will normally be taken immediately following the spring examinations on or about May 1 and will continue for approximately three weeks. Registration will show as Summer Term. 5 The courses required in this program satisfy the university mathematics requirement. 6 Students who have GEOL 1440 (007.144) or the former 007.124 should consult with the department. At the discretion of the department, GEOL 1440 (007.144) or 007.124 may be permitted in lieu of GEOL 1340 for entry. 7 IMPORTANT: The Honours and Major programs need not be completed in the manner prescribed in the chart above. The chart indicates one possible arrangement of the required courses and is meant to be a guide around which students can plan their program. (Letters in brackets indicate the minimum prerequisite standing required for further study).  Notes: To fulfil prerequisite requirements, a grade of "C" must be achieved in any course stipulated as prerequisite to a further course in Geological Sciences. All courses are not offered every year. The course schedule for the current academic session is available from the online calendar at umanitoba.ca/calendar Students registering in certain courses may be required to pay a portion of the costs associated with field trips. For details, contact the department general office. Equivalent courses offered through Collège universitaire de Saint- Boniface may be used in lieu of the specified courses identified in the degree program chart. Collège universitaire de Saint-Boniface courses end in the number '1' (e.g. PHYS 1051).
