Commonly Asked Questions About Chemistry Courses
Can I get chemistry credit for CHEM 1053 Chemistry and Our World?
Credit can be obtained for Chemistry and Our World as a science elective only. The course cannot be used towards your chemistry requirements (major or minor). You also cannot obtain credit for both CHEM 1053 and CHEM 2103 Physical Chemistry 1: Chemical Thermodynamics.
Students following an academic calandar prior to the 2015-2016 academic year can use CHEM 1053 towards a chemistry minor.
Which biochemistry course should I take?
| If your program requires biochemistry with a lab (e.g., Chemistry Honours, Chemistry Major) |
Take CHEM 2713 |
| If a program you are applying to after graduation requires biochemistry with a lab (e.g., some medical schools require biochemistry with a lab and some do not, check with the Health Sciences Advisor if you are unsure which you need) |
Take CHEM 2713 |
| If you (might) want to take metabolism later (CHEM 3723) | Take CHEM 2713 |
| If you require any biochemistry course (no lab requirement) | Take CHEM 2713 or 2773 |
| If you are interested in biochemistry (no lab requirement) | Take CHEM 2713 or 2773 |
| If you need a chemistry credit (e.g., Chemistry as a 2nd Major or Minor) |
Take CHEM 2713 or 2773 |
