2. Chemistry
CUE’s program allows students to study chemistry in greater depth. They will have the opportunity to take additional senior-level lectures, participate in advanced laboratory courses, and also experience the challenges of pursuing a scientific research project. This pathway is a great choice for those looking to gain admission into a graduate program, e.g. master’s or PhD. A Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry allows graduates to explore a wide range of job opportunities.
They will be able to use their newfound research, analysis, and experimentation skills to forge their own career path. Some chemistry degree career paths include Forensic Analyst, Quality Control Analyst, R&D Scientist, Toxicologist, Laboratory Instructor, Laboratory Technician, Research Assistant, Technical Salesperson. Samples courses include Environmental Chemistry, Quantitative Chemical Analysis, Quantum Chemistry, and Spectroscopic Methods.
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.
