Chemistry (B.S.)
About
This degree option is excellent for students considering pre-medical, pre-veterinary, pharmacy, or double majors. The B.S. allows students flexibility in their programs so that they may choose suitable electives to prepare for medical, veterinary, and other health professional schools, work in environmental testing and remediation, or work in the pharmaceutical industry. Students also have the option of taking business, law, computer science, materials science, or other courses to complement their chemistry curriculum. Students must take a minimum of 49 credits of coursework in chemistry.
The chemistry curriculum is strong preparation for further study in medicine, pharmacy and other health related fields. To meet the requirements of most health professional schools, the following courses are recommended: BIO 100 , BIO 200, SOC 101, PSY 100. Additional courses including BIO 377/BIO 378 , BIO 350. BMB 322/BMB 323 and BMB 400 also provide good preparation for these programs.
Program Highlights
Requirements
Additional requirements include MAT 126, 127, PHY 111/PHY 112 or PHY 121/PHY 122. General education courses and electives must be chosen to satisfy the university-wide and college requirements for the BS degree. Students interested in pursuing a double math major should take MAT 259 and 262 in lieu of MAT 258; this is also recommended for a math minor. Work completed as part of the Honors Program may be used to fulfill general education course requirements. HON 498 and HON 499 may be used in place of CHY 498 and CHY 499 respectively.
