Honors students in Chemistry must take a core of Chemistry and auxiliary courses. The core consists of 45 units in Chemistry courses, 12 units in Mathematics courses, 6 units in Physics courses, 3 units in BIOCH 200 , 3 units in CHEM 401 , 6 units in a junior ENGL or 3 units in ENGL and 3 units in Arts option, and 12 units in Arts options. In addition to the core courses, honors students must complete at least 18 units in senior courses in Chemistry from the courses listed below, with 6 units of these taken at the 400-level. Finally, the honors student must include 15 units in options in the third and fourth years of the program. These are normally chosen from offerings within the Faculty of Science (see details of courses ). All options must be selected in consultation with the Department of Chemistry.
Continuation in the Honors in Chemistry program requires successful completion of at least 24 units with a minimum 3.0 GPA and a minimum 3.0 GPA on all CHEM courses completed in the previous Fall/Winter. In addition, graduation requires a minimum 3.0 GPA on the last 90 units credited to the degree.
The Honors Chemistry degree is accredited by the Canadian Society for Chemistry.
