Requirements for the Chemistry Major
To receive the B.S. in Chemistry students must adhere to all General Education and School of Natural Sciences Requirements . The Chemistry program consists of 85-92 units with a minimum of 26 courses designed to give all students a common foundation of core knowledge specific to the discipline, plus breadth in an application area.
There are honors versions of the three lower division Chemistry courses, CHEM 002H , CHEM 008H , and CHEM 010H , which are open to students achieving high grades in the prerequisite courses (see course descriptions for details). These classes cover the same breadth of material as the non-honors versions, but are taught with smaller class sizes and cover the material in more depth.
