Chemistry — 4-year 2018/2019

2. Chemistry

The 4 yr. BSc in Chemistry program is accredited by the Canadian Society for Chemistry (CSC). The CSC accredits undergraduate chemistry programs in Canadian universities, to ensure that educational programs have the potential to prepare graduates to practice their profession in a competent scientific manner. It also helps to maintain national standards of education by providing an external audit service for programs, and by promoting the portability of the qualifications of graduates from such programs.
