193.5 Chemistry
193.5.1 Honors in Chemistry
Honors students in Chemistry must take a core of Chemistry and auxiliary courses. The core consists of 
45 in Chemistry courses, 12 in Mathematics courses, 6 in Physics courses, 3 in Biology or Biochemistry courses, 3 in either CHEM 400 or 401, 6 in a junior ENGL or 3 in ENGL and 3 in Arts option, and 12 in Arts options. In addition to the core courses, honors students must complete at least 18 in senior courses in Chemistry from the courses listed below, with 6 of these taken at the 400-level. Finally, the honors student must include 15 in options in the third and fourth years of the program. These are normally chosen from offerings within the Faculty of Science. All options must be selected in consultation with the Department of Chemistry.
Continuation in the Honors in Chemistry program requires successful completion of at least 24 with a minimum 3.0 GPA and a minimum 3.0 GPA on all CHEM courses completed in the previous Fall/Winter. In addition, graduation requires a minimum 3.0 GPA on the last 90 credited to the degree.
The Honors Chemistry degree is accredited by the Canadian Society for Chemistry.

193.5.3 Industrial Internship Program
An Industrial Internship Program, similar to a co-op program, is offered to students in the Specialization or Honors programs in Chemistry (see §193.1.9 for guidelines to the program). The Industrial Internship designation will appear on the degree parchments of students who have participated in the program.
Students approved to enter this stream register for a continuous sequence of Science Work Experience courses (WKEXP 955, 956, 957, 958), starting in May, September, or January. During the program, students are considered full-time students of the University. Work experience courses have no weight and are graded credit/no credit, and recorded on the student's transcript. The Industrial Internship Program Advisor maintains contact at approximately three-month intervals with the student and the person designated by the employer to be responsible for the student's progress. This arrangement ensures satisfaction on all sides. If the review shows the situation is not satisfactory, the internship may be terminated and the student would then return to classes at the next available opportunity. The graduation requirements for the Industrial Internship program designation include successful completion of at least WKEXP 955 and 956, plus CHEM 400. CHEM 400 must be taken in the first term immediately following completion of the WKEXP period. If required by the employer, the student's written report and oral presentation in CHEM 400 may be classified confidential. The employer also assesses the student's performance during the work term. Based on the student's written report and oral presentation, and the report from the employer, students are awarded a grade in CHEM 400.
Interested students should see the Industrial Internship Advisor in the Department of Chemistry for more information.
