Students enrolled in the BSc (4 Year) program in Chemistry may choose to add a stream to their degree program. Streams are available in Industrial Chemistry, Geochemistry, Material Chemistry, and Environmental Chemistry. This feature is designed to emphasize the various interfaces that exist between Chemistry and other disciplines in Science and Engineering, and allows students to tailor their program in accordance with their career objectives. Students choosing a stram will take the prescribed courses within their elective credits. They should consult with an academic advisor when planning their program of study and notify the Office of the Registrar of their intention to complete a stream.
