Note:
Information about the program and the selection procedure may be obtained from Science Career and Cooperative Education.
Program Notes
- This is a five-level (year) co-op program which includes two eight-month work terms that must be spent in chemistry-related placements.
- Students must be registered full-time and take a full academic workload as prescribed by Level and by Term.
- Students are required to complete SCIENCE 2C00 and SCIENCE 3C00 before the first work placement and are strongly recommended to complete SCIENCE 2C00 in Level II.
- There are Level II and III prerequisites for many Level III and IV courses. The prerequisites should be considered when choosing your Level II and III courses.
- Students considering postgraduate studies in Chemistry should note that 18 units of Level IV Chemistry or related subjects are required for consideration for admission at McMaster and most graduate schools in Canada.
- BIOCHEM 2EE3 or any Biochemistry course that has a Biology course as a prerequisite are an acceptable alternative to BIOCHEM 3G03 . CHEM 4IB3 or a Level III or IV Chemical Biology course are also acceptable substitutes providing these units are taken as elective to the Honours Chemistry program requirements.
- CHEM 4G09 A/B , 4G12 A/B or 4RP6 A/B S cannot be taken concurrently with CHEM 3LA3 or 3RP3 .
- CHEM 2PC3 or 3PC3 are recommended for all Chemistry students, but not required for students who complete MATH 1B03 (or 1ZC3 ) in either Level I or II, and who complete one of MATH 1AA3 , 1LT3 , 1XX3 (or 1ZB3 ) in Level I.
