Quebec students must have completed the DEC with appropriate science and mathematics courses. Note that students who have successfully completed MATH 150 Calculus A. and MATH 151 Calculus B. do not have to take MATH 222 Calculus 3. .
Required Basic Core Courses (43 credits)
The Liberal Program: Core Science Component Chemistry - General Option is not certified by the Ordre des chimistes du Québec. Students interested in pursuing a career in Chemistry in Quebec are advised to take an appropriate B.Sc. program in Chemistry. A computer science course, either COMP 202 Foundations of Programming. or COMP 208 Computer Programming for Physical Sciences and Engineering . , is strongly recommended during U1 for students who have no previous introduction to computer programming. Students should contact their adviser on this matter. Completion of Mathematics MATH 222 Calculus 3. during U1 is strongly recommended.
