There are many options for graduate studies leading to MSc and PhD degrees in the area of Chemistry. Details of graduate specializations can be found in the graduate section of this calendar.

¹All degrees in the Faculty of Science, except Environmental Science, can be combined with eligible BA and BSc programs from the Faculty of Arts. Please refer to Section 3.4 for information on combined degrees, double majors with programs within the Faculty of Science as well as combined degrees with programs from other Faculties. Students interested in pursuing these degrees are encouraged to speak with an advisor in the Undergraduate Science Centre to develop a degree completion plan.

²The BSc Honours program in Chemical Physics has been suspended as of Fall 2016. Students interested in this degree are encouraged to apply for the Chemistry program and speak to a program advisor in the USC for their degree planning.
