This program is approved by the American Chemical Society; students completing
this program are certified to the society. Students planning professional careers
in chemistry should choose this degree.
In addition to satisfying the university-wide general education requirements
for the B.S. degree, students majoring in chemistry must complete the following.
(Through the course work below, chemistry majors satisfy the university-wide requirements
in natural science and quantitative reasoning.)
1. Fifty-two credits of chemistry: CHEM 211, 212, 313, 314, 315, 318, 321,
331, 332, 336, 337, 350, 422, 423, 441, 445, 463, and three credits of electives
in chemistry
2. Fourteen credits of math: MATH 113, 114, 213, 214
3. Eight to twelve credits of physics: PHYS 243246 (8 credits) or PHYS
160, 260263 (12 credits)
Concentration in Biochemistry
Students planning professional careers in biochemistry, biological chemistry,
molecular biology, biotechnology, or other biomedically related fields with a
chemistry emphasis should choose this program instead of the traditional B.S.
in Chemistry. The program also meets the requirements for entrance to medical
and other professional schools.
In addition to satisfying the university-wide general education requirements
for the B.S. degree, students majoring in chemistry with a concentration in biochemistry
must present the following. (Through the course work below, they satisfy the university-wide
