The Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering

Accreditation & Entry Qualifications

Accreditation

The baccalaureate degree programme in Chemical Engineering is accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board of the Canadian Council of Professional Engineers, and is recognized by the Chemical Institute of Canada and the Canadian Society for Chemical Engineering as qualifying its graduates for full membership status.

Entry Qualifications

The Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering offers courses of study leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Engineering in Chemical Engineering, and Bachelor of Science Chemistry at the Honours, Major or General levels.

To enter the Third Year Honours programme Chemistry, a Second Class (B-) combined average in Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics in the Second Year Honours Science programme is normally required. To enter the Third Year programme in Chemical Engineering, students must have completed successfully the Second Year Engineering or Honours Science programme, normally with a minimum D+ combined average in Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics and have the approval of the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering.
