Honours Sustainable Chemistry Co-op (B.A.Sc.)

Admission (Effective September 2021)

Enrolment in this program is limited. Selection is based on academic achievement and an interview but requires, as a minimum, submission of the on-line application by the stated deadline, and completion of Level II Honours Sustainable Chemistry with a Grade Point Average of at least 5.0 including:

Program Notes

1. This is a five-level (year) co-op program which includes two eight-month work terms that must be spent in appropriate chemistry-related placements.
2. Students must be registered full-time and take a full academic workload as prescribed by Level and by Term.
3. Students are required to complete  and  before the first work placement and are strongly recommended to complete  in Level II.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. CHEM 4G09 A/B,   or  cannot be taken concurrently with or .
