The Department of Chemistry offers several programs that lead to the B.S. degree. The curricula are designed to prepare the student for a career in industry, for admission to a graduate program in chemistry or biochemistry, or for admission to medical school.
Prerequisites. CHEM 103, CHEM 113 (lab), CHEM 104, CHEM 114 (lab), CHEM 203, CHEM 213 (lab), CHEM 204, CHEM 214 (lab); PHYS 205 or PHYS 215, PHYS 225 (lab), PHYS 206 or PHYS 216, PHYS 226 (lab); MATH 111 or MATH 121, MATH 112 or MATH 122. Minimum grade requirements for acceptance as a major are a C- average in each chemistry course, a C- average in each physics course, and a C- average in each mathematics course.
Bachelor of Science in Chemistry
The requirements for the major can be found at Chemistry - Bachelor of Science (B.S.)
This option, certified by the American Chemical Society, is designed to prepare students for graduate study or for employment as practicing chemists.
Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry
The requirements for the major can be found at Biochemistry - Bachelor of Science (B.S.)
The B.S. program is administered by an interdisciplinary committee made up of professors from the departments of biology and chemistry.
Bachelor of Science in Chemical Physics
The requirements for the major can be found at Chemical Physics - Bachelor of Science (B.S.)
This interdisciplinary major is administered jointly by the departments of chemistry and physics.
Bachelor of Science in Environmental Chemistry
The requirements for the major can be found at Environmental Chemistry - Bachelor of Science (B.S.)
For students interested in environmental issues, this option emphasizes environmental chemistry and related topics.
Minor in Chemistry
The requirements for the minor can be found at Chemistry - Minor
Minor in Environmental Chemistry
