and standing requirements specified below.
Bachelor Program
To
graduate in a Bachelor program. For students admitted to York University
for 1999-2000 and subsequent years, the Senate of York University
requires a minimum overall grade point average of 4.0 in order to
be eligible to graduate with a BSc degree (Bachelor program).
- the
program core, as specified in i) above;
- the
Faculty of Pure and Applied Science general education and 1000-level
Science requirements, as specified in ii) above;
- at
least 21 credits from Chemistry courses at the 3000 level, for
an overall total of at least 47 credits from Chemistry courses;
(Note: SC/CHEM 3080 4.0 is strongly advised.)
- additional
elective credits, as required for an overall total of at least
90 credits, including at least 66 credits from Science courses.
Honours Programs
To
declare Honours requires successful completion of at least 24 credits
and a minimum cumulative credit-weighted grade point average of
5.0 over all courses completed, subject to the exceptions in the
notes below.
To
proceed in each year of an Honours program requires a minimum cumulative
credit-weighted grade point average of 5.0 over all courses completed,
subject to the exceptions in the notes below.
To
graduate in an Honours program requires successful completion of
all Faculty requirements and departmental required courses and a
minimum cumulative credit-weighted grade point average of 5.0 over
all courses completed, subject to the exceptions in the notes below.
Notes:
1.
In addition, a minimum cumulative credit-weighted grade point average
of 6.0 over all Science (SC) courses completed is required to declare,
proceed and graduate in (i) the Honours Double Major program where
Biology is the other major, and (ii) the Honours Major/Minor program
where Biology is the major. (The minimum 6.0 Science grade point
average is not required where Biology is the minor.)
2.
Students admitted to York University prior to 1999-2000 may declare
Honours and proceed and graduate in Honours programs according to
the academic standards of the year in which they were admitted.
Specialized Honours Program
- the
program core, as specified in i) above;
- the
Faculty of Pure and Applied Science general education and 1000-level
Science requirements, as specified in ii) above;
- SC/CHEM
3010 4.0 or SC/CHEM 3011 4.0; SC/CHEM 3020 4.0; SC/CHEM 3030 4.0;
SC/CHEM 3080 4.0;
- SC/CHEM
4100 6.0;
- a
minimum of 20 additional credits from Chemistry courses at the
3000 or 4000 level, of which at least 12 must be at the 4000 level,
for an overall total of at least 68 credits from Chemistry courses;
- additional
Science credits, as required for an overall total of at least
90 credits from Science courses;
- additional
elective credits, as required for an overall total of at least
120 credits.
In
the applied chemistry area, the Department of Chemistry offers a
Specialized Honours program stream in Atmospheric Chemistry (see
separate entry in Science section V).
In
addition, students may develop a concentration in Environmental
Chemistry, Biological Chemistry or Materials Chemistry, for which
they should consult the Department of Chemistry on course selection.
Honours Double Major Program
Possible
subject combinations are listed under "Undergraduate Degree Programs"
in Science section I. Information on recommended course combinations
suitable for Honours Double Major programs in Chemistry and other
Science disciplines may be obtained from the department office.
Early
planning of courses in an Honours Double Major program is strongly
advised so that the necessary prerequisites for courses in both
departments are met.
Honours
Double Major programs are necessarily highly demanding and should
not be considered by any student without an average academic performance
of B grade or better.
All
Honours Double Major programs require an overall total of at least
120 credits, including at least 90 credits from Science courses
and at least 42 credits at the 3000 or higher level.
In
the applied chemistry area, the Department of Chemistry and the
Department of Earth and Atmospheric Science offer an Honours Double
Major program stream in Atmospheric Chemistry (see separate entry
in Science section V).
Honours Major/Minor Program
An
Honours Major in Chemistry may be combined with an Honours Minor
in another subject area in a BSc Honours Major/Minor degree program.
Possible subject combinations are listed under "Undergraduate Degree
Programs" in Science section I.
- the
Faculty of Pure and Applied Science general education and 1000-level
Science requirements, as specified in ii) above and including
courses appropriate for the minor;
- the
Chemistry Honours Major requirements below;
- the
course requirements for the minor;
- additional
elective credits, as required for an overall total of at least
120 credits, including at least 42 credits at the 3000 or higher
level.
Honours Major (for Honours Major/Minor Programs)
- the
program core, as specified in i) above;
- a
minimum of 22 credits from Chemistry courses at the 3000 or higher
level, including a minimum of 16 credits from the following: SC/CHEM
3010 4.0, SC/CHEM 3011 4.0, SC/CHEM 3020 4.0, SC/CHEM 3021 4.0,
SC/CHEM 3030 4.0, SC/CHEM 3031 4.0, SC/CHEM 3080 4.0;
- a
minimum of 9 additional credits from Chemistry courses at the
4000 level, for an overall total of at least 57 credits from Chemistry
courses.
Note:
The following courses are required as prerequisites or corequisites
for the Chemistry courses above: SC/MATH 1013 3.0; SC/MATH 1014
3.0; SC/PHYS 1410 6.0 or SC/PHYS 1010 6.0.
Honours Minor
- SC/CHEM
1000 3.0; SC/CHEM 1001 3.0;
- at
least 24 additional credits from Chemistry courses at the 2000
or higher level, for an overall total of at least 30 credits from
Chemistry courses.
Note:
Some 2000-level Chemistry courses require mathematics and physics
courses as prerequisites or corequisites. Careful planning is required
to ensure that prerequisites for the 2000- and higher-level Chemistry
courses in which the student is interested are completed.
