Marker Courses: Four Gl/GN; Two SI (one in major); Four WI (one in major, one >300 level)
1. All B.S. majors must complete mathematics at least through MAT 293 Calculus III. Depending upon the individual mathematics background*, some students may start with Math 150 rather than Math 151 and extend the sequence of math courses by one semester. Others may start with Math 191. Majors are strongly advised to elect additional advanced mathematics courses. *(Math Placement Exam required. See the Mathematics section of the Academic Guide for New Students.)
2. German is especially useful for a chemist, but any foreign language may be selected. If the student is able to begin at the intermediate level in the Freshman Year, a second year of language may not be required.
3. The sequence listed here for meeting the General Education and College Additional Requirements (identified by capital letters in parentheses) is a suggestion only and may be arranged to fit each student’s particular situation. CST 105, which fulfills the GRD requirement, is also recommended.
4. Only major requirement and related area requirement courses in which grades of C- or better are earned will be counted toward the major. Students must earn a C- or better in prerequisite major requirement and related area requirement courses before advancing to subsequent courses.
5. CHE 491, 492 Independent Study is encouraged.
6. Senior Chemistry majors should register for CHE 401 in their second last semester and attend seminar, whether or not they plan to present a seminar this first semester. All must register for CHE 402 in their last semester. A grade will be given in the second semester, based on presentation and attendance in CHE 401 and CHE 402. Juniors are encouraged to attend.
7. Students seeking ACS accreditation under the B.S. degree must select one course as “Advanced Science Elective”. Eligible courses are: CHE 490, 491, 492, (minimum of 2 credit hours total for any combination of 491 and 492 count as one course), 493, 536, 553, 555, 570 (minimum 2 credit hours total for any combination of CHE 570 courses, counts as one course); BIO 355, 392, 477, 479, 494, 506; CSC 230, 322, 330, 339, 523, 524; STA 271, 351; MAT 310, 311, 345, 390, 394, 395; PHY 321, 323, 325, 327, 412, 413, 421, 426. Independent study, CHE 491, 492 is encouraged. These electives may be taken earlier than the senior year if prerequisites permit.
Major Requirements
CHE 111, 112, 114, 115, 242, 331, 333, 351, 352, 354, 372, 401 (audit), 402, 420 or (556 and 557 which counts as one course), 442, 461, 462, 463, 464, 481, 531, 533
Related Area Requirements
1. MAT 191, 292, 293
2. PHY 291, 292
3. At least one course selected from: CHE 490, 491, 492, (minimum of 2 credit hours total for any combination of 491 and 492 count as one course), 493, 536, 553, 555, 570 (minimum 2 credit hours total for any combination of CHE 570 courses, counts as one course); BIO 355, 392, 477, 479, 506, 538, 594; CSC 230, 322, 330, 339, 523, 524; STA 271, 351; MAT 310, 311, 345, 390, 394, 395; PHY 321, 323, 325, 327, 412, 413, 421, 426 |
