Option A:

Core chemistry courses, required related courses, plus two advanced four-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, earth sciences, physics, mathematics, or computer science. 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 four-credit course as described under Option A.

Option A:

Core chemistry courses, required related courses, CAS BI 108, 203, CAS CH 422, and one additional course in biochemistry or molecular biology from the following: CAS BB 522, CAS BI 552, or undergraduate research in biochemistry (CH 401, 402, 491, 492).

Option B:

Core chemistry courses (GMS BI 555 plus CAS CH 527 is substituted for CH 421), required related courses, CAS BI 108, 203, GMS BI 556, and one additional course in Biochemistry from the following; CAS BB 522, CAS BI 552, or undergraduate research in biochemistry (CH 401, 402, 491, 492).

This program of a minimum of 37 courses allows the student to receive the Bachelor of Arts (BA) and Master of Arts (MA) degrees in five years. With the consent of the advisor, and with two summers of academic work, the program may be completed in four years. The departmental BA/MA statement and further information are available from the associate chair for graduate programs. For more general information please refer to BA/MA programs.

Core chemistry courses, required related courses, plus SED ED 100/101; DS 502; SE 251; ED 410, 412; CT 575; SC 571, 572; SC 509 or 510.

CAS CH 111, 112 (or CH 101, 102, 201 or CH 109, 110), 211, 212 (or 203, 214 or 203, 204, 220), and one advanced four-credit course in chemistry (CH 232 or a 300-level or higher nonresearch course). Students in the MMEDIC program may substitute GMS BI 555, 556 for this advanced course. Neither CH 201 nor CH 220 may be counted toward the five course requirement for the minor in chemistry. Note that according to CAS rules, “a student wishing to take a minor may use no more than two courses from a major to fulfill the requirements of a minor.” Students interested in the minor should contact the Associate Chair for Undergraduate Programs.
