Special Notes

  1.         Students graduating with a chemistry major (B.S.) must complete         45 credit hours in the major with at least a 2.0 in each course.
  2. The Chemistry major (B.S.) fulfills the requirements for an American         Chemical Society (A.C.S.) certified degree.
  3. Students interested in the Chemical Engineering Double Degree         Program should initiate contact with the Chemistry Department         as soon as possible.
  4. Since both calculus and physics are prerequisites for CHEM 451         and 452, students considering chemistry, biochemistry, medicine        and related fields are urged to start the cognate sequences as soon         as possible.
  5. Students may not double major in Chemistry and Biochemistry
