Notes:

Trent’s Environmental Geoscience program meets the knowledge requirements of Professional Geoscientists Ontario (PGO) in the environmental geoscience stream. Courses that are used to meet these requirements have been approved by PGO. In the case of a student receiving a waiver for a required course, it is the student’s responsibility to ensure that the PGO knowledge requirements are being met. Furthermore, it is the applicant who must demonstrate to the PGO that they meet each individual knowledge requirement.
