Courses used to fulfill the requirements for the General Chemistry major cannot be used to
fulfill the requirements for another major or a minor.

To graduate, students must complete courses, including Foundation courses, as defined in the
Faculty of Pure and Applied Sciences' Regulations.

Recommended courses of study towards the above majors and minors are:

1. An Applied Chemistry and a General Chemistry Double Major– recommended for students
seeking to do graduate studies in some area of chemistry.

2. A Food Chemistry and a General Chemistry Double Major – recommended for students
seeking to do graduate studies in some area of chemistry.

3. An Applied Chemistry Major – recomended for persons seeking employment in the
Industrial or Regulatory sectors, particularly as they relate to Chemical Processing or the Environment.

The elective credits could come from within Chemistry or from other Departments. Combinations of courses from
Geology, Geography, Physics, Biochemistry or Life Sciences could produce a degree with an environmental focus.
Combinations with courses from Geology, Physics and Biotechnology could enhance the industrial focus. Combinations
are also possible with Computer Science and Mathematics. Out of Faculty courses are also possible.

4. A Food Chemistry Major– recommended for persons seeking employment in the
Industrial or Regulatory sectors, particularly as they relate to Food.

The elective credits could come from within Chemistry or from other Departments. Combinations of courses from
Biochemistry , Biotechnology or Life Sciences could enhance the industrial focus. Combinations with courses from
Biochemistry or Botany could produce a degree with an agricultural focus. Other combinations including out of Faculty
courses are also possible.

5. A Food Chemistry Minor:

C 35Q in semester II, Year III (2nd year of advanced) and 8 credits from C 20J, C 30J, C 22J, C 32J and C 25J
done over the advanced years of your degree.

C 35Q has C 22J as a pre-requisite. C 20J is a pre-requisite to C 30J and is required in the General Chemistry major.
C 22J is a pre-requisite to C 32J and both are required for a General Chemistry major.

This minor can be combined with a General Chemistry major or majors from other departments (timetables permitting).
Combinations of majors in Biochemistry, Biotechnology or Botany would allow for degrees with microbiological,
industrial or agricultural focuses.

6. A Food Processing Minor:

C 25P in semester I of year II (1st year advanced) and either 8 credits from the 4 credits courses C 25J, C 34J, C 34M
or the eight credits course C 34Q.

C 34Q has C 23J as a pre-requisite. C 34M has as pre-requisites two of C 20J, C 21J, C 22J and C 23J.

This minor can be combined with a General Chemistry major or majors from other departments
(timetables permitting). Combinations of majors in Biochemistry, Biotechnology or Botany could
enhance the microbiological, industrial or agricultural focuses.

7. An Industrial Chemistry Minor:

* C 34M has as pre-requisites two of C 20J, C 21J, C 22J and C 23J (C 20J is recommended)
and all are required for a General Chemistry major.

This minor can be combined with a General Chemistry major or majors from other departments
(timetables permitting). Combinations with majors in Geology , Physics and Biotechnology could
enhance their industrial focus.

8. An Environmental Chemistry Minor:

* C 34M can substitute for C 20J if that course is required for the General Chemistry major or for C 30J.
The prerequistes for C 34M are two of C 20J, C 21J, C 22J and C 23J . C 20J, C 21J, C 22J and C 23J
are all required for the General Chemistry major.

This minor can be combined with a General Chemistry major or majors from other departments
(timetables permitting). Combinations of courses from ,Physics, Geography, Biochemistry,
Biotechnology or Life Sciences could produce a degree with an environmental focus.
