DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY

Head: Brian D. Pate

Chemistry Program for Non-chemistry Majors

A three semester sequence of Chem 101-3, 106-2, 102-3, 116-2, 251-3 and

256-2 or Chem 101-3, 106-2, 102-3, 116-2, 261-3, 216-2 is recommended.

Note: Students with a passing record (or better) in high school

chemistry (Chemistry 91, Chem. Study or equivalent) may, at the

discretion of the Department, be given advanced standing in

Chem. 101-3 and 106-2 and proceed to 102-3 and 116-2 immediately.

Chemistry Program forStudents Intending to Major in Chemistry

A minimum of 50 semester hours in Chemistry, or related topics approved

by the Department, is required, together with ordinarily 18 but not less

than 14 semester hours of Physics and iuinimum of 15 semester hours of

Mathematics. It is recommended that these latter courses be taken as

early in the program as possible so that they will be of benefit in the

study of chemistry.

The following is a recommended minimum program:

Notes:

1. Students intending to pursue advanced study in Chemistry should

acquire a reading knowledge of German and/or Russian as early

•

their program as possible.

2. Students intending to specialise in Organic or Biochemistry

should take Biology 100 or Biology 100B Plus Biology 201.

The second four semesters must include 30 additional semester hours of

chemistry, or related topics approved by the Department.

Chemistry Program for Students Intending to Take Honours in Chemistry

Students intending to take honours in Chemistry will, in the first four

semesters, pursue a program in common with students majoring in Chemistry.

To graduate with honours, a student must complete, in semesters 5 to 8

inclusive., 52 additional semester hours either in Chemistry or in related

courses specified by the Department. These will include at least one

course from the graduate calendar in Chemistry. The student may also

submit a laboratory or library thesis making an original contribution to

knowledge, and prepared under the direction of a member of the Chemistry

faculty. Additional graduate course work and a final comprehensive

examination may be substituted for the thesis by permission of the Department.
