University of Calgary Calendar 2011-2012 Faculty of Science 5. Program Details 5.2 Chemistry 5.2.2 Programs in Applied Chemistry Co-operative Education
5.2.2 Programs in Applied Chemistry Co-operative Education

Co-operative Education programs include a minimum of sixteen months of supervised work experience in various industrial, governmental or academic laboratories and thus require a minimum of five calendar years to complete.

Admission

See also (3.2 Admission).

Students following the suggested Applied Chemistry program sequence normally begin this program during the second year. For formal entry into the Applied Chemistry Co-operative Education program see the Calendar section "Co-operative Education/Internship."

A minimum of four HCE of the first year of the program as specified in this Calendar (see below) must have been completed with a minimum grade point average of 3.30 overall and in the required Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics courses before the student may apply for admission to the BSc Honours Applied Chemistry Co-operative Education program, or a minimum grade point average of 2.70 overall and in the required Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics courses before the student may apply for admission to the BSc Applied Chemistry Co-operative Education program.

Students must be registered in the second year of the Chemistry Majors or Honours program and must apply to the Career Services Office by December 1. Students who are accepted in to the Co-operative Education program are then required to apply to the Undergraduate Program office for a change of program to the Applied Chemistry program.

Before commencing the first Co-operative Education work term, students must have completed a minimum of eight FCE appropriate to the Chemistry degree program. They must have attained a minimum grade point average of 2.70 over the following second year courses: Chemistry 311 and 351 and they must have completed Chemistry 315 and 355. It is strongly recommended that students take Chemistry 331 and 333 in their second year of studies.

The Department requires that a minimum overall GPA of 2.70 at each annual review be maintained for continuation in the program (see Faculty regulations for the Honours Co-operative Education program).

Note: The detailed Co-operative Education program sequence as well as additional rules and regulations must be obtained from the Chemistry Department Office (SA109).
