Chemistry Major Requirements

BS with a Major in Chemistry

The program of study requires a minimum of 38 hours, on a 124-hour degree, consisting of CHEM 10113-10125 (or 10113, 10123, and 20123), 30123-30133, 30122-30132, 40091, 40123-40133, 40121-40131, 50163, 40172 or 50162, 40200 (3 hours) or 40003-40013, and one additional advanced course selected from CHEM 50282, 50133 or 50223. Professional certification by the American Chemical Society requires the inclusion of CHEM 20123, 40172, 50162, 50133 and 50282, resulting in a minimum of 43 hours of chemistry.

Associated Requirements: PHYS 10154 and 10164 (or 20474 and 20484); MATH 10524 and 20524. MATH 30524 is recommended for CHEM 50282.

BA with a Major in Chemistry

The program of study requires a minimum of 24 hours consisting of CHEM 10113-10125, (or 10113, 10123, and 20123), 30123, 30122, 40123, 40121, 40091 and suitable electives chosen from upper-level courses (30000 or above) with the exclusion of 40503, 50111 and 50120. No more than two hours of research (40200 or 40003-40013) may contribute to the 24-hour minimum.

Associated Requirement: MATH 10524

Any minor approved by the College of Science & Engineering is acceptable. The BA degree in chemistry is devised for students with a general interest in the field who do not plan to pursue graduate studies in chemistry. Students planning a professional career in chemistry are strongly advised to satisfy the requirements of the BS degree.

BS with a Major in Biochemistry

The program of study requires a minimum of 38 hours, on a 124-hour degree, consisting of CHEM 10113-10125 (or 10113, 10123, and 20123), 30123-30133, 30122-30132, 40091, 40123, 40121, 40200 (3 or 4 hours) or 40003-40013, 50163, 50133-50143, and 50502. Professional certification by the American Chemical Society requires the inclusion of CHEM 20123, 40172, 40133, 40131, and 50162 resulting in a minimum of 46 hours of chemistry.

Associated Requirements: BIOL 10504, 10514, 30603 and one of the following: BIOL 40123, 40133 or 40403; PHYS 10154 and 10164 (or 20474-20484); MATH 10524 and 10043 or 30803.
