About Chemistry

A medical researcher investigating a potential cure for cancer, an astronaut who has been given the task of retrieving and repairing a communication satellite, an environmentalist devoted to the goal of saving an endangered species in the tropical rainforests, or a patent lawyer responsible for providing sound financial and marketing advice to a large industrial company. What do all of these professionals have in common? The answer is remarkably simple… they are all chemists. After all, there is a reason why chemistry is referred to as the central science.

The Chemistry department of Capilano University offers a complete selection of university transferable courses at the first and second year levels, ranging from analytical and physical to organic and inorganic chemistry. Students can use these courses towards an Associate of Science degree and/or a Bachelor's of Science degree at a recognized university.
