Programs and specializations

Traditional subdisciplines

As a chemistry major, you can choose to focus your studies in one of our traditional subdisciplines that are as follows:

  • Analytical chemistry
  • Biochemistry/biological chemistry
  • Inorganic chemistry
  • Organic chemistry
  • Physical/theoretical chemistry
  • Polymer chemistry

Specializations

Chemistry majors (those who are in the honours Chemistry or cooperative honours Chemistry academic programs) may by a judicious choice of elective course focus their studies in one of the traditional subdisciplines of chemistry; they may also choose to tailor their studies to satisfy the Computational Specialization, which is available to both regular and co-op streams.
