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.)
