Solving many environmental problems requires a solid background in both chemistry and environmental science. The Environmental Chemistry program has been designed to provide a thorough grounding in fundamental chemical principles as well as a detailed understanding of environmental issues and their scientific context. Graduates of the program will have experience with advanced instrumentation and modern analytical techniques, and will be prepared to handle challenging environmental problems from a multidisciplinary perspective.
Note
- There is no minor in Environmental Chemistry.
Bachelor of Science program in Environmental Chemistry
- See Degree Requirements for requirements which apply to all undergraduate degree programs.
- The Environmental Chemistry program is a sequence of courses offered by the Chemistry department and the Environmental Resource Science/Studies program that compose an integrated whole. It is not available as a joint-major degree.
- ERSC 314H, 355 and 435H are recommended for both the Honours and the General program
- Students wishing to transfer to a single-major program in Chemistry or Environmental Resource Science should consult the chair of the appropriate department/program when they have successfully completed 8 to 10 course credits.
- For information on individual courses see calendar entries for Chemistry and for Environmental Resource Science/Studies.
