At McGill University in Montréal, Canada, BA/BS in Chemistry is offered as a bachelor's degree in Chemistry programme. The programme runs for 3 years. Tuition is CAD 104 per credit for local students.
This is McGill's Bachelor of Science with a Major in Chemistry, offered through the Department of Chemistry in the Faculty of Science, and it can also be completed within the combined Bachelor of Arts and Science degree. Its required coursework spans organic chemistry, physical chemistry topics such as thermodynamics and kinetics, inorganic chemistry, instrumental and analytical chemistry, and quantum chemistry, and students must also complete credits in Chemistry courses at the 400 level or higher as a complementary requirement. A computer science course is recommended in the second year for students without prior programming experience. As with other Faculty of Science majors, students must meet both the specific requirements of the major and the university's broader Foundation-year and degree requirements, and the page directs students who have completed equivalent CEGEP coursework toward the university's science placement exam process for possible transfer credit. The page does not describe an honours track, research placement, or specific delivery format beyond the program's base in the Faculty of Science. It suits students seeking a chemistry major with broad coverage across the organic, physical, inorganic, and analytical branches of the subject.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: This McGill program page carries no admission criteria of its own; it directs applicants to the university's general admission requirements, and to enter you apply to the Faculty of Science. Under McGill's institution-wide rules, Quebec CEGEP graduates are admitted directly from their DEC into the three-year program, following the Science-stream prerequisite courses; Canadian applicants from other provinces are assessed on their senior secondary record, for example Ontario applicants on the average of their 'Top 6' 4U/4M courses, with at least four of the six and all prerequisites at the 4U level; international applicants are assessed by their own school system (US high school, IB, British-pattern, or other) and are normally admitted with an extra Freshman (U0) year. Admission is by academic record only, and meeting the published minimums does not guarantee a place. English proficiency is required unless exempt: IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band below 6.0, TOEFL iBT 90, Duolingo English Test 125, or PTE Academic 65.
