X. Degree Programs
Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)
Nanoscience (NANO:C)
Administered jointly by the Department of Chemistry and the Department of Physics, College of Physical and Engineering Science
Major (Honours Program)
The major will require the completion of 20.00 credits as indicated below. To graduate from the co-op program, a minimum of 4 successfully completed work terms is normally required. Students are eligible to participate in a maximum two (2) work terms commencing in the summer and must follow the academic work schedule as outlined in the Co-operative Education & Career Services website: https://www.recruitguelph.ca/cecs/.
Semester 1 - Fall
| BIOL*1090 | [0.50] | Introduction to Molecular and Cellular Biology |
| CHEM*1040 | [0.50] | General Chemistry I |
| IPS*1500 | [1.00] | Integrated Mathematics and Physics I |
| NANO*1000 | [0.50] | Introduction to Nanoscience |
| Students who are lacking one 4U /grade 12 course in Biology, Chemistry or Physics must take the equivalent introductory course in first semester. The required first-year science courses in that subject should be completed according to the revised schedule of studies available at: http://www.bsc.uoguelph.ca/revisedss | ||
Semester 2 - Winter
Semester 3 - Fall
Semester 4 - Winter
Summer Semester
| COOP*1000 | [0.00] | Co-op Work Term I |
Semester 5 - Fall
Winter Semester
| COOP*2000 | [0.00] | Co-op Work Term II |
| (8-month work term in conjunction with COOP*3000) | ||
Summer Semester
| COOP*3000 | [0.00] | Co-op Work Term III |
| (8-month work term in conjunction with COOP*2000) | ||
Semester 6 - Fall
| NANO*4100 | [0.50] | Biological Nanomaterials |
| 2.00 electives | ||
Semester 7 - Winter
Summer Semester
| COOP*4000 | [0.00] | Co-op Work Term IV |
Fall Semester
| COOP*5000 | [0.00] | Co-op Work Term V |
Semester 8 -- Winter
* To take PHYS*3230 in semester 5, then PHYS*2340 must be slected as an elective in semester 4.
Note: Four work terms are required for the completion of the co-op degree. It is also necessary that there be at least one work term in each of Winter, Fall, and Summer semesters. Therefore, one of the summer work terms could be missed and the student would still graduate successfully. It is only required to complete 4 of the 5 listed work terms. A report is required for each work term completed, even when all 5 are done. Contact the co-op faculty advisor for further details.
Selection of electives is subject to the following rules:
-
The student must select at least 1.00 credits in Arts or Social Science.
-
The program must include at least 6.00 science credits at the 3000 and 4000 level of which at least 2.00 must be at the 4000 level.
-
In semesters 7 and 8, the student must select to do either NANO*4900 or NANO*4910.
In completing the science requirements for the degree, some suggested complementary areas of focus are found under the listing for the regular program.
