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  .

Program Description


The Bachelor of Science (ACS certified) 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 ACS certified Bachelor of Science program is recommended particularly for those students who anticipate pursuing a career in chemistry. The program provides an in-depth coverage of the primary disciplines within the chemical field and adds further breadth to the course work required for the non-ACS Bachelor of Science program by the addition of courses in spectroscopy (CHM 4170 ), inorganic chemistry (CHM 4210 , CHM 4210L ) and biochemistry (BMB 4210 ). In addition, the physics requirement can be met only with the PHY 2400 , PHY 2410 , PHY 2400L  and PHY 2410L  sequence. The mathematics requirement is satisfied by completion of MTH 2320 .

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.ements.
