The minimum requirements for a chemistry major are twenty-five (25) credits of science major chemistry courses, two semesters of physics with laboratory and Calculus I (MATH 131, orMATH 125andMATH 126) and II (MATH 132).
While calculus-based General PhysicsPHYS 121,PHYS 141,PHYS 122andPHYS 142are recommended for the B.A. degree and are required for the B.S. degree, students seeking the B.A. degree may wish to consult their academic advisor to discuss if College PhysicsPHYS 105,PHYS 106,PHYS 107andPHYS 108are appropriate for their program of study.
The chemistry courses must include:CHEM 125,CHEM 126(orCHEM 131),CHEM 221,CHEM 231; six credits of laboratory courses (e.g.,CHEM 127,CHEM 128(orCHEM 132),CHEM 255and 256A and 256B;CHEM 315,CHEM 324,CHEM 332,CHEM 335,CHEM 345or other laboratory courses may be included in these 6 credits; and two courses selected fromCHEM 311,CHEM 322,CHEM 331andCHEM 332orCHEM 343. (CHEM 331andCHEM 332must be taken together and are considered one course.) A minimum GPA of 2.0 is required for the science-major chemistry courses.
