Atmospheric Chemistry (Applied Science Streams) - Science and Engineering

The Department of Chemistry and the Department of Earth and Space Science and Engineering offer degree program streams in atmospheric chemistry. Both programs of study are particularly demanding and will be of interest to students with academic performances of B grade or better.

i) All BSc Honours degree candidates must complete the program core (normally before proceeding to 3000- or higher-level courses): SC/CHEM 1000 3.00; SC/CHEM 1001 3.00; SC/CHEM 2010 3.00; SC/CHEM 2011 3.00; SC/CHEM 2020 6.00; SC/CHEM 2030 3.00; SC/CHEM 2080 4.00; SC/EATS 2010 3.00; SC/MATH 2015 3.00; SC/MATH 2270 3.00.

ii) All BSc Honours degree candidates must comply with general regulation 4 (see the Faculty of Science and Engineering Regulations Governing Undergraduate Degree Requirements section of this calendar) by completing the following (in addition to SC/CHEM 1000 3.00 and SC/CHEM 1001 3.00 from the program core):

• SC/CSE 1540 3.00;
• SC/EATS 1011 3.00 (Honours Double Major stream only);
• SC/MATH 1013 3.00; SC/MATH 1014 3.00; SC/MATH 1025 3.00;
• SC/PHYS 1010 6.00*;
• 12 general education credits (see General Education Requirements in the Faculty of Science and Engineering Regulations Governing Undergraduate Degree Requirements section of this calendar).

*Note: SC/PHYS 1410 6.00 with a minimum grade of C may replace SC/PHYS 1010 6.00.

iii) All BSc Honours degree candidates, in accordance with their declared programs, must comply with general regulation 6 (see the Faculty of Science and Engineering Regulations Governing Undergraduate Degree Requirements section of this calendar) and, in so doing, must also satisfy the course, credit and standing requirements specified below.
