CHEM-M-BSH
Subject: Administered by the Department of Chemistry.
Plan: Consists of 72.00 units as described below.
Program: The Plan, alone, or in combination with a Minor in another subject, and with sufficient electives to total 120.00 units, will lead to a Bachelor of Science (Honours) Degree.
Note: Requirements for this program have been modified. Please consult the 2023-2024 Calendar for the previous requirements.

4. Substitutions
A. Students who have completed CHEM 113 and CHEM 114 may take CHEM 117 to gain general chemistry laboratory experience. While this sequence totals 7.50 units, it is considered equivalent to CHEM 112 and may be used to fulfill Core 1.A. of the Chemistry Major Plan when applicable. The additional 1.50 units will be directed to the student’s elective requirement.
5. Notes
A. Students wishing to continue to graduate studies in chemistry should consider as electives at least 6.00 further units in chemistry at the 300- and 400-level (including 300-level and 400-level BCHM offerings).
B. A maximum of 6.00 units from courses offered by other Faculties and Schools may be counted toward the program and/or Plan requirements. This includes courses in BMED, COMM, GLPH, HSCI, LAW, NURS, and courses offered by Smith Engineering.
