GENERAL INFORMATION
There are five chemistry degree programs: Major, Medicinal Chemistry Major, Honours,
Medicinal Chemistry Honours and Honours Co-op. All five programs have national accreditation under the Canadian Society for Chemistry. The Honours and Honours Co-op programs are recommended for students pursuing graduate studies and careers in chemistry. The Medicinal
Chemistry Honours program is recommended for students pursuing graduate studies leading to careers in the health professions or the pharmaceutical industry. A Minor program is offered for students in other departments of the Faculty of Science and outside the Science Faculty who are interested in a coherent package of chemistry courses.
Valid WHMIS (Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System) certification is required for all students who wish to take CHEM laboratory courses. Information regarding WHMIS training will be provided during the first week of classes.
Minor Program
Students wishing to pursue a minor in chemistry must follow the guidelines below. The disciplines in chemistry (analytical, inorganic, organic, physical and theoretical) chosen for a minor must be pre-approved by the Director of Undergraduate Studies.
A) Students not requiring Chemistry courses for their majors degree:
CHEM 1001, 1006, 1012 and 1017 plus courses in three disciplines chosen by the student.
Students are required to take one lecture and one lab course in each of the chosen disciplines.
B) Students requiring Chemistry courses for their majors degree are not eligible to count 1 st year
Chemistry courses towards a Chemistry minor. Two options are:
Students wishing a broad range of topics are required to take six lecture courses in a minimum of four of the disciplines plus one lab course in each of the chosen disciplines.
Alternatively, students wishing a specialized set of topics are required to take six lecture courses in two of the disciplines plus four lab courses in the chosen disciplines.

Honours Program
Entry into the Honours program is allowed after first year provided that a minimum CGPA of 3.0 has been attained for all subjects taken in the degree program. A CGPA of 3.0 must be maintained in subsequent years. The graduating Honours student must achieve a minimum CGPA of 3.7 for First Class Honours standing and a minimum of 3.0 for Honours standing. A student completing all the course requirements for Honours but with a CGPA below 3.0 will be given a
Majors degree. Students must notify the Director of Undergraduate Studies of their intent to pursue an Honours Program, for appropriate academic advising.
