Oral Communication Requirement:

To satisfy the oral communication requirement for the B.S. or B.A. degree in Chemistry a student must successfully complete CHM 495 .

Applied Learning Requirement:

To satisfy the applied learning requirement for the B.A. and B.S. degree in Chemistry a student must successfully complete at least one hour of CHM 491 , CHM 498 , CHM 499 or CHML 495 .

Requirements for a Major in Chemistry for the B.S. Degree:

And one of the following options:

Option 1. General:

Three hours from the following:

Total: 76 hours

Option 2. Biochemistry:

3 hours from the following:

BIO 325 - Molecular Biology of the Cell
BIO 425 - Microbiology
CHM 491 - Directed Individual Study ** or
CHM 499 - Honors Work in Chemistry **

Total: 81 hours

Additional Information:

An overall grade point average of “C” (2.00) is required in all chemistry courses counted toward the major.

Students working for the B.S. degree should arrange their work so as to take CHM 321 and CHM 420 in the junior year.

(**If CHM 491 or CHM 499 is used, the student must take a total of 3 credit hours in CHM 491 and may count only 3 of the 6 credit hours taken as CHM 499 for credit toward the major. A comprehensive written report and an oral presentation are required.)
