 Return to:Academic Departments and Degrees
The B.S. degree in chemistry requires 36 credits of science major chemistry courses and a total of 60 credits in the natural sciences. A minimum GPA of 2.0 is required for all science- major chemistry courses in the degree. The B.S. degree must include the 32 credits of chemistry, 8 credits of physics and 8 credits of mathematics that are listed below.

Requirements
Students interested in chemical engineering should consult with the chairperson of the Chemistry Department and an engineering advisor early in their undergraduate program.
Students who are interested in combined science fields, special programs or contract curriculums should consult with the appropriate chairpersons as early as possible to learn of opportunities, prospects and requirements.
Strongly Recommended Courses
Alternatively,CHEM 131andCHEM 132, Accelerated General Chemistry and Accelerated General Chemistry Laboratory, may be substituted for the two-semester general chemistry sequence ofCHEM 125andCHEM 127, plusCHEM 126andCHEM 128. Since the material covered in this accelerated one-semester general chemistry course is the same as the material covered in the two-semester sequence, credit forCHEM 125andCHEM 127will be awarded upon successful completion ofCHEM 131andCHEM 132.
In Addition
除上述课程外，学生还必须完成200-、300-或400-水平的讲座或实验课程的其他四个学分，共36学分。Suggested courses are listed below:
Graduate School Students
For students planning to go to graduate school in chemistry, it is essential to takeMATH 231andMATH 232. Depending on the student’s background in mathematics, General PhysicsPHYS 121may be taken in the freshman year or taken no later than the second semester of the sophomore year. College PhysicsPHYS 105,PHYS 106,PHYS 107, andPHYS 108do not satisfy requirements for the B.S. degree.
Pre-medical, pre-dental and pre-veterinary students are advised to take the following courses in chemistry
These students should consult with thePre-Professional Programsas early as possible to insure that their chemistry major meets the specific requirement of their intended profession. Suggested courses to prepare for medical school are listed on thePre-Health Professionsweb page.
