X. Degree Programs
Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)
Nanoscience (NANO)
Administered jointly by the Department of Chemistry and the Department of Physics, College of Engineering and Physical Sciences
Major (Honours Program)
The major will require the completion of 20.00 credits as indicated below.
Semester 1
| 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: https://www.uoguelph.ca/bsc/revised_SS | ||
Semester 2
Semester 3
Semester 4
Semester 5
Semester 6
Semester 7
Semester 8
| NANO*4200 | [0.50] | Topics in Nanomaterials |
| 2.00 electives | ||
* To take PHYS*3230 in semester 5, PHYS*2340 must be selected as an elective in semester 4.
Note: In semesters 7 and 8, the student must select to do either NANO*4900 or NANO*4910.
Areas of Focus
In completing the science requirements for the degree, some suggested complementary areas of focus are:
Chemistry: Inorganic
Chemistry: Organic
Chemistry: Physical/Analytical
Engineering
Mathematics and Statistics
Physics
*Note: Courses marked with an asterisk may require additional prerequisites. Students should consult the relevant course descriptions for further information.
Credit Summary (20.00 Total Credits)
4.50 - First year science credits
8.00 - Required science courses semesters 3 – 8
0.50 or 1.00- Restricted electives (either NANO 4900 (1.00) or NANO 4910 (0.50) )
2.50 to 3.00 - Approved Science electives (depending on restricted elective chosen above)
1.00 - Liberal Education electives
3.00 - Free electives - any approved elective for B.Sc. students. (could be less if restricted electives do not count as science)
Of the total credits required, students are required to complete 16.00 credits in science of which 2.00 credits must be at the 4000 level and an additional 4.00 credits must be at the 3000 or 4000 level.
