Additional info
  • Students who have a GPA between 2.75 and 3.00 or who lack a degree in chemistry or biochemistry (but still hold a Bachelor’s degree in a related natural science discipline such as biology, physics, science education, etc.) may be considered for provisional admission based on the following:
    • The GRE is required with a combined score in the 50th percentile or above.
    • Students must take a placement exam chosen by the MSc Director. Enrollment in certain undergraduate courses may be required to offset any deficiencies indicated by the placement exam.
