The Honours Specialization in Geophysics is offered by Western University's Department of Earth Sciences in the Faculty of Science. The program is designed to meet the minimum geoscience knowledge requirements for professional registration as a licensed geoscientist in Canada, as set by the Association of Professional Geoscientists of Ontario and the Canadian Council of Professional Geoscientists. It applies physics and mathematics to the study of the Earth's structure, composition, and processes, leading to an Honours Bachelor of Science degree. The specialization requires 10.5 courses beyond Western's first-year requirements. Admission requires completion of first year with no failures and a minimum average of 70% across 3.0 principal courses, comprising Chemistry 1301A/B, a two-course physics sequence, a two-course calculus sequence, and one additional 1000-level Faculty of Science course, with no mark below 60% in any principal course; one further course from a specified list must be completed by the end of second year.
