Co-op, Minors, Certificates and Engineering Concurrent Programs for Students
Co-operative Education Program (Science Co-op) in Chemistry
Co-op Academic Advisor: Dr. Mark Whalen (marc.whalen@dal.ca)
The Science Co-op degree option enables students to apply their academic knowledge directly while providing them with work experience that assists in making educated career choices. Science Co-op is available to students in BSc (120 credit hour) Honours or Major programs in Chemistry, or in Combined Honours or Double Major programs with Chemistry as the primary subject. Further information details on Science Co-op can be found in the academic calendar under Work-Integrated Learning & Co-operative Education and the Co-op office’s website at dal.ca/wil.
For more information on Co-op Education in Chemistry please see the departmental page www.dal.ca/faculty/science/chemistry/programs/undergraduate-studies/degree-programs/co-operative-education.html
Minors available to students in Chemistry
Minor programs allow students to develop subject specialties in addition to their major or honours subjects. Minors in other subjects are normally added to 120 credit hour BSc or BA programs (including Science Co-op).
Students in a BSc or BA (120 credit hour) program in Chemistry may choose to include a Minor selected from the list of approved Minors. Courses counted toward a Major or Honours subject cannot be used to fulfill the requirements of a Minor program.
Certificates
In combination with a BSc or BA in Chemistry, students may obtain one or more Certificates. A Certificate indicates that a student has achieved a certain level of proficiency in a given area or subspecialty. Courses counted toward a Major, Honours or Minor subject may also be used to fulfill the requirements of a Certificate. Students must apply to the Certificate Coordinator to be considered for a Certificate. Certificates are awarded upon graduation and are noted on the student’s academic transcript.
A complete list of Faculty of Science Certificates and requirements is available. Students may also work toward obtaining Certificates offered by other Faculties; some of these are listed in the College of Arts and Science Degree Requirements section of the calendar.
Certificates of particular interest to student enrolled in a BSc or BA in Chemistry include:
BSc/BEng Concurrent Program (Chemistry)
Chemistry is known as the central science because its main theme is transformations of matter and energy that are at the core of many fields of science and engineering. A strong background in Chemistry has direct relevance to fields such as biological/biomedical engineering, chemical engineering, environmental and resource engineering, food science technology, materials engineering, mining/petroleum engineering and process engineering. Following is the recommended sequence of courses for students wishing to obtain a concurrent BEng and BSc (90 credit hour) degree with Minor in Chemistry. Interested students must consult with the Assistant Dean, Faculty of Science, and the Associate Dean, Faculty of Engineering prior to enrolling in a concurrent BEng/BSc degree.
It is recommended that students also discuss their selection of courses with an undergraduate advisor in the Department of Chemistry. A concurrent BEng/BSc Major or Honours in Chemistry (120 credit hours) can be designed for interested candidates.
