Major

Note: The total course requirements are the same as for the Honours Physical Science program. Please note that the first year Physics requirements must be met by 76-100 and 76-101.

A major in Chemistry consists of 17 Chemistry courses. The first 6 semesters are the same as for the Specialized Honours Chemistry program except for the Mathematics elective in semester 4, which is a free elective for the major program. In semesters 7 and 8, major students must select two 400 level chemistry courses, leaving 8 free electives in those semesters. An additional two 400 level science courses must be taken to meet the requirements of the B.Sc. Honours Physical Science program.

Minor

A minor in Chemistry consists of 10 Chemistry courses and must include 19-104, 19-105, 19-240 or 19-248, 19-282 or 19-288, 19-230 or 19-270, and 5 additional Chemistry courses.
