Major in Chemistry
The courses required for a major in chemistry are CHE 101/110, 102/120, 301/310, 302/320, 303, 407, 408, 412, 414, and either 401 or 402 (a total of 37-40 semester credit hours). The support courses required for a major in Chemistry are COS 101 or 108; MAT 131 and 132; one additional upper level mathematics course; and two physics courses from two options: PHY 211/212 or PHY 207/208 (a total of 24-26 semester credit hours). The calculus-based physics is preferred for graduate study in chemistry. The student must earn a grade of at least "C" in the required and support courses.
