Requirements for the chemistry major, in addition to the University degree requirements outlined within this Bulletin, are:

1. Courses in chemistry--at least 39 credits (for the B.A. degree), or 42 to 45 (for the B.S.), including the following (with variations as authorized by the department):

CHEM 113 & 103 General Chemistry I (and Lab)

CHEM 114 & 104 General Chemistry II (and Lab)

CHEM 233 & 203 Organic Chemistry I (and Lab)

CHEM 234 & 206 Organic Chemistry II and Organic/Analytical Chemistry Lab)

CHEM 341-342 Physical Chemistry I & II

CHEM 470 Analytical Chemistry

 

The remaining hours in chemistry, sufficient to reach required total, should be chosen in consultation with the department. Qualified seniors should take the graduate Chemistry Colloquium, CHEM 501-502. 2. Required cognates (17 cr.):

 

MATH 120 Calculus I

MATH 130 Calculus II

PHYS 130 & 130L University Physics I (and Lab)
