Chemistry – Bachelor of Arts At least 11 credits as follows:
General Chemistry: CHEM 100A and CHEM 102A
Analytical Chemistry: CHEM 205
Organic Chemistry: CHEM 211 and CHEM 212
Inorganic Chemistry: CHEM 215
Physical Chemistry: CHEM 321 and CHEM 321A (.5 credit)
Presentation Skills in Chemistry: CHEM 399 (.5 credit)
Advanced Studies: The Advanced Studies requirement is the means by which students engage themselves in a more in-depth study of one of the sub-disciplines of chemistry: analytical, organic, inorganic, physical, or biological. It is met by one of:
One or more elective courses at the 300 level that make up at least one credit (BCHM 301 may be used as the elective course)
An independent research project at the 350 level for a minimum of one credit
An Honors Project in Chemistry or Biochemistry (for a double major)
Calculus: MATH 145 or 151 and MATH 146 or 152
Chemistry – Bachelor of Science In addition to the B.A. Major requirements (above), students must complete the following:
Three credits from: CHEM 315, CHEM 316, CHEM 317, CHEM 318, CHEM 322/322A, CHEM 325, CHEM 328, CHEM 331, CHEM 395, CHEM 350 or CHEM 400 (up to 1.5 credit total for BA/BS combined), or BCHM 301
One course from: PHYS 110, PHYS 120, PHYS 130, or PHYS 130A
Note: Students double majoring in Biochemistry and Chemistry may count no more than 4 courses to both majors. For major-minor combinations of Biochemistry and Chemistry, no more than 2 courses may apply simultaneously to both programs.
Certification by the American Chemical Society
Students interested in chemistry as a profession or for graduate school training should consider completing the requirements for the certified curriculum espoused by the American Chemical Society as follows:
those listed for the major plus BCHM 301, CHEM 322, CHEM 322A, CHEM 325, CHEM 331
two from BCHM 302, BCHM 310, CHEM 315, CHEM 316, CHEM 317, CHEM 318, CHEM 328, CHEM 395.
Two units of independent study may be substituted for these two electives.
two units from PHYS 110, PHYS 120, PHYS 130 or PHYS 130A
