The program you actually apply to
Physical and Chemical Sciences Pathway
80–87%OUAC QSPCo-op available
Prerequisites
- ENG4U
- MCV4U
- 1 of SCH4U or SPH4U
- 3 additional 4 U/M courses
When you choose chemistry
During Plan Selection in May at the end of first year.
What to watch for
CORRECTED PREREQUISITES: an earlier version of this mapping said Science entry needs "Calculus and Vectors plus two of Bio/Chem/Physics" — that is the OLD general-Science rule. QSP requires English 4U, Calculus and Vectors 4U, and Physics 4U OR Chemistry 4U (one of, not two of three), plus three other 4U/M courses. Queen's admission FAQ confirms Advanced Functions 4U is no longer separately required for Science. CODE CAVEAT: Queen's own requirements table still shows only Science (QS); confirm QSP on OUAC.
The same application also gets you to
Physical and Chemical Sciences Pathway is the entry point for 1 other major at Queen's. You are not choosing between these at application time.
