The above qualifies the student to receive a B.S. in chemistry but without American Chemical Society certification. To receive this certification, either CH 321 and CH 321 Laboratory replace two electives, or CH 398 replaces one elective.
- The student intending to enter primary or secondary school teaching should consult annually with the Chairs of the Departments of Chemistry and Education for appropriate modifications of this curriculum.
- The student intending to enter medical or dental school should consult with the Chair of the Chemistry Department for appropriate modifications of this curriculum, which will include taking BI 91-92 in freshman year in place of PS 15-16 which is taken in sophomore year.
- Students may elect to take Biochemistry (CH 324) in the Junior Year.
- It is strongly recommended that chemistry majors enroll in at least one term of Research (CH 398) in their senior year.
