Bachelor of Science in Chemistry

A suggested sequence for taking the required science courses is given below. Variations on the sequence should be checked to insure that course prerequisites have been satisfied. Because many courses have structured prerequisites, major deviations from this schedule could increase the time required to obtain the degree.

Bachelor of Science chemistry majors should note the following considerations for General Education Requirements: ENGL 101 (Goal 1) and SPCH 101 (Goal 2) should be completed during the freshman year, and ENGL 201 should be passed during the sophomore year. The mathematics requirement (Goal 3) should be fulfilled by MATH 121 and 222 as early as feasible.
