Note(s):


To progress to higher level chemistry courses (end of second year), you must have completed CHM 2120 , CHM 2120L , PHY 2410  or PHY 1120 , PHY 2410L  or PHY 1120L , and MTH 2320 .

*These courses can be taken during the summer or in previous/subsequent semester.

Program Description


The Dual Major-Bachelor of Science curriculum is designed to prepare undergraduate students for careers as professional chemists, entrance into medical or dental schools, or graduate work in chemistry. In order to develop their academic programs to meet specific needs and individual interests, students should consult their academic advisors.

The program of study includes coverage of the primary disciplines within the chemical field with course work in analytical, inorganic, organic and physical chemistry, but also allows for course work in a second discipline. In addition to the Wright State core, the degree program includes foundation studies in mathematics and physics. For the latter, the requirements may be met by either the PHY 1110 , PHY 1120 , PHY 1110L  and PHY 1120L  sequence or the PHY 2400 , PHY 2410 , PHY 2400L  and PHY 2410L  sequence.

Because the order in which science courses are taken is so important, students are advised to begin the mathematics, chemistry, and physics sequences as soon as possible.
