Bachelor of Science in Chemistry (General)

University of Windsor

This science program is like a buffet - you can try a little of everything before deciding what you want for the main course. It’s ideal for students who want to explore more than one area or are undecided about what subjects to study. You’ll focus on three or four core science areas - biology, chemistry, biochemistry, computer science, environmental science, mathematics, physics, or economics - and then concentrate on two of them. Many students who start in this program transfer to a more specialized four-year honours program after first or second year. Also, it’s excellent for those who want a fast tracked three year degree.Chemistry is often called the ''central science'' because it connects physical sciences with life sciences and engineering. Consequently, knowledge of chemistry is a requirement or beneficial for a very large number of diverse career paths of which only few are listed below. However, many require training at the MSc or PhD level.
