BSc or BA (120 credit hour) Double Major in Chemistry and another subject

The Double Major degree program allows students to combine a study of Chemistry with another subject. The other subject may be any discipline from the Faculty of Science, the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, the Faculty of Computer Science or the College of Sustainability. Chemistry may be the primary subject (defined as the subject with the larger number of credits), or the secondary subject. If the primary subject area is from the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, the degree granted will be a BA. The Double Major program is not accredited by the Canadian Society for Chemistry.

A Co-op option is available for students enrolled in BSc Double Major with Chemistry as the primary subject. See Co-operative Education Program.
