CHEMISTRYchemistry is known as the “central science” since it is an essential component within a wide variety of other scientific disciplines such as biochemistry, biology, physics, astronomy and geology. Almost every-thing surrounding us is closely linked to chemistry. The program explores ad-vanced concepts that deal with chemistry both qualitatively and quantitatively, for reactions ranging from those involving single atoms to those involving the most complex biomolecules. This knowledge can lead to such things as nanotechnolo-gy, new and improved drugs and materials and novel chemical processes. Two new options in Advanced materials chemistry and ecochemistry are now offered. cAReeR oPPoRTUNITIeS • Chemist•Forensicchemist•Massspectrometrist•Molecularmodeller•Qualitycontrolinspector•Researcher

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCEover time, civilization has had a major impact on the natural world, especially with the increase in powerful industrial technologies in recent decades. Through field trips, laboratory exercises, seminars and classes, this program examines this impact scientifically and in detail, looking in particular at how we are using natural resources and considering the potential problems that future generations may face. The program offers three areas of specialization: conservation and Biodi-versity; Global change; environmental Geochemistry and ecotoxicology. cAReeR oPPoRTUNITIeS • Environmentalconsultant or impact analyst •Environmentalissueslobbyist•Environmentalprogram development supervisor •Researcher•Naturalresourceplannerorpolicyanalyst•Conservationbiologist• Waterqualityspecialist

SOCIAL SCIENCES OF HEALTHThis multidisciplinary minor is for stu-dents who want to explore health-related issues from the perspective of the six social sciences disciplines offered at the University—criminology, economics, political studies, psychology, social work and sociology.

each discipline contributes to enriching students’ understanding of the complex social factors that affect health. Research on the social determinants of health, for instance, has shed light on the complex factors that can determine the health of populations. Professors from each disci-pline draw from a wealth of social sciences research, which reveals key insights into why some people are healthier than others and what contributes to health improve-ment.

In our programs, students have the opportunity to apply

theoretical approaches and learn how to use research tools such as discourse analy-sis, as well as documentary and statistical analyses.
