Program Notes

 Go to top of document
1.  Students preparing for professional studies in health sciences should note that many such programs require completion of a laboratory physics course i.e., PHYS 1F25 or 1F90 rather than PHYS 1F20.  
2.  CHEM 3P40 is strongly recommended for most projects in CHEM 4F90, 4F91 and should be taken in year 3 by students intending to proceed to a year 4 thesis in CHEM.  
3.  CHEM 4P27 is strongly recommended when offered. CHEM 4P27, together with CHEM 4P40, may be used to satisfy the CHEM credit requirement.  
4.  In all 20 credit degree programs, at least 12 credits must be numbered 2(alpha)00 or above, six of which must be numbered 2(alpha)90 or above and of these, three must be numbered 3(alpha)90 or above. In all 15 credit degree programs, at least seven credits must be numbered 2(alpha)00 or above, three of which must be numbered 2(alpha)90 or above.
