Electives and breadth requirements
All students must complete a total of 39 elective credit hours including 6 credit hours in senior chemistry
electives. Students who are not accepted into the thesis option (CHEM 4410U/4420U) must take two
additional senior chemistry electives for a total of 45 elective credit hours. A senior chemistry elective is
defined as any 4000-level chemistry course not specified in the course map. At least 21 elective credit
hours must be in courses offered by the Faculty of Science including the senior chemistry electives; the
additional senior chemistry electives required for students who are not enrolled in thesis cannot be used
to meet this requirement. In order to satisfy breadth requirements, no more than 9 elective credit hours
may be in chemistry (CHEM) courses; at least 12 elective credit hours must be in courses outside the
Faculty of Science. Students must take the remaining 6 elective credit hours in a general elective
(offered by the Faculty of Science or outside the Faculty of Science).
***
Thesis project or senior chemistry elective courses
Students in clear academic standing who have completed 90 credit hours of their CHEM program and six
third-year required courses may optionally apply to take a two-course sequence consisting of CHEM
4410U and CHEM 4420U (Thesis Project in Chemistry I and II). Students not accepted to take the thesis
courses must complete two additional senior chemistry electives instead. A senior chemistry elective is
defined as any 4000-level chemistry course not specified in the course map. A student meeting the
above requirements who does not take CHEM 4410U and CHEM 4420U may optionally apply to take
CHEM 4430U (Directed Studies in Chemistry) as one of the required senior chemistry electives.
Opportunities for the Thesis Project and Directed Studies options are limited; for either of these options,
students must apply through Science Advising by March 30 following completion of the first three years
of the program.
