Program Notes


  1. In some cases there are Level II and III prerequisites for Level III and IV courses. The prerequisites should be considered when choosing your Level II and III courses.
  2. BIOCHEM 2EE3  or any Biochemistry course that has a Biology course as the 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.
  3. CHEM 3PC3   is 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.
  4.  One of PHYSICS 1AA3  or 1CC3  must be completed by the end of Level II and is very strongly recommended in Level I. 
  5. CHEM 4G12 A/B  or 4RP6 A/B S  cannot be taken concurrently with CHEM 3LA3  or 3RP3 
  6. One of CHEM 3EP3 A/B S , 3RP3  may be completed to satisfy units toward the Level III Chemical Biology or Chemistry requirement.
  7. Students wishing to have more mathematical statistics may replace STATS 2B03  with STATS 2D03  and 2MB3 .
