X. Degree Programs

Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)

Chemistry (Co-op) (CHEM:C)

Department of Chemistry, College of Physical and Engineering Science

Major (Honours Program)

The major will require the completion of 20.25 credits as indicated below.

The course content of semesters 1 to 3 is the same as listed in the regular Honours Program Major.

To graduate from the Co-op program a minimum of 4 successfully completed work terms is normally required. These can be taken as four single work terms (Stream A), or as a double work term between two single work terms (Stream B).

Stream A: single work term option
