Academic Accelerator Program - Bachelor of Science - Chemistry

The Academic Accelerator Program (AAP) is a two-semester program designed specifically for students who are ready to succeed in immersive English-speaking classrooms, while includes the benefit of English-language and student support to help them thrive. The program curriculum offers a balance of university-wide and AAP-exclusive courses, with English-language course supplements that equip them with the practical, subject-specific vocabulary and skills they need to excel in their coursework.

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry offers Bachelor of Science degrees in Chemistry and Biochemistry and a Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry.  An ACS approved degree is recommended for students interested in pursuing a graduate degree in chemistry or biochemistry. The non-ACS Bachelor of Science Biochemistry option has a larger biology emphasis, and is better suited for those seeking a broad background in both biochemistry and molecular biology. The Bachelor of Arts degree in Chemistry is offered for those seeking a strong background in chemistry, but with less specialization than the Bachelor of Science program. A minor in Chemistry is also offered.

Students are encouraged to visit the Departmental website to learn more about careers in chemistry and biochemistry. For those interested in teaching chemistry at the secondary level, the Department suggests the Bachelor of Arts degree along with the teacher certification program in the School of Education.
