BA in Chemistry

Completion of the Option A chemistry program qualifies students for certification by the American Chemical Society.

Core Chemistry Courses

CAS CH 111, 112 (or CH 109, 110, or CH 101, 102, 201), 211, 212 (or CH 203, 214, or CH 203, 204, 220), 232, 301, 351, 352, 354, and 421.

Required Related Courses

CAS MA 123, 124 (127 or 129 fulfills 123, 124 requirement), 225 (or 230); CAS PY 211, 212 (or 241, 242, or 251, 252).

Option A:

Core chemistry courses, required related courses, plus two advanced 4-credit courses in chemistry numbered CAS CH 401 or higher, excluding CH 421 and CH 525. Only one semester of undergraduate research (CAS CH 491, CH 492, CH 401, or CH 402) can be applied toward fulfillment of the advanced course requirement. These two advanced courses may be satisfied by the completion of the requirements of a major or minor in astronomy, biology, biomedical engineering, computer science, earth sciences, mathematics, or physics. Students in the MMEDIC program may substitute GMS BI 555 and CAS CH 527 for CH 421, and GMS BI 556 and CAS CH 528 for CH 422; one additional course in chemistry numbered CAS CH 401 or higher is required.

Option B:

Core chemistry courses, required related courses, plus one additional advanced 4-credit course as described under Option A.
