Minor Chemistry (20 credits)

Offered by: Chemistry     Degree: Bachelor of Arts and Science

Program Requirements

The goal of this minor program is to provide interested B.Sc. students with a good grounding in chemistry through an introduction to one of the traditional sub-disciplines in chemistry (analytical, inorganic, organic, and physical).

Required Courses (13 credits)

* Denotes courses with CEGEP equivalents.

If any of the required courses are part of your primary program or were taken at CEGEP, then they must be substituted by courses from the minor options list that are not part of your primary program. The total number of credits exclusive to the minor is at least 19.
