化学在理科学生的专业准备中起着不可或缺的作用。我们化学课程的毕业生发现了许多职业机会，包括在基于技术的行业中晋升到管理水平。化学是研究，工业，健康科学和环境领域职业的基本基础。获得加拿大化学学会认可的荣誉​​课程和研究生预备课程使学生能够继续获得高级研究学位。对于行业，学生应通过商务课程补充其课程。对于健康科学，化学专业（生命科学重点课程）提供了先决条件。在单独的化学课程中，有足够的机会在理论和实践上进行广泛的准备。介绍了一般原理和实验室技能后，我们将提供分析，有机，物理和无机化学以及生物化学方面的工作。
Chemistry plays an integral role in the professional preparation of the science student. Graduates of our Chemistry program have found many career opportunities, including advancement into management levels in technology-based industries. Chemistry is a basic foundation to careers in research, industry, the health sciences, and the environment. The Honours program and the program for graduate school preparation, both accredited by the Canadian Society for Chemistry, enable a student to continue to an advanced research degree. For industry, students should supplement their program with Business courses. For health sciences, the Chemistry major (Life Sciences Emphasis program) provides the prerequisite background. Within the individual Chemistry courses, there is ample opportunity for breadth of preparation in theory and practice. Following the introduction of general principles and laboratory skills, work is provided in analytical, organic, physical, and inorganic chemistry as well as biochemistry. Fourth year students may do independent projects in chemical problems encountered in testing, research, and development. The Chemistry Department, located in the Neufeld Science Centre, features new and up-todate laboratories and equipment. Advanced students are given opportunities to develop their teaching and leadership skills by acting as teaching assistants in first year laboratories under the supervision of a faculty member.
