B.S. Bachelor of Science in Chemistry
B.A. Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry
B.A. Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry (Special program for premedical and predental students)
General Information
Chemistry offers the B.A. in chemistry, the B.S. in chemistry, a special B.A. program for premedical and
predental students, and the A.S. degree in chemistry. The B.S. degree is certified by the American Chemical
Society. To enter one of these programs, students should have completed a minimum of two years of high
school algebra, one-half year of trigonometry, one year each of chemistry and physics, and three or four
years of a modern foreign language. Those who have not completed the suggested high school mathematics are
advised to take a semester of precalculus mathematics as soon as possible in preparation for MATH M215
Analytic Geometry and Calculus I.
Students who plan to complete a chemistry degree in four years are advised to take the following courses
during their freshman year:
(All courses are 3 cr. hours unless otherwise designated.)
CHEM C105 Principles of Chemistry I
CHEM C106 Principles of Chemistry II
CHEM C125 Experimental Chemistry I (2 cr.)
CHEM C126 Experimental Chemistry II (2 cr.)
MATH M215 Analytic Geometry and Calculus I (5 cr.)
MATH M216 Analytic Geometry and Calculus II (5 cr.)
Qualified students may take the following honors chemistry courses:
CHEM S105 Principles of Chemistry-Honors
CHEM S106 Quantitative Chemistry-Honors
CHEM S125 Experimental Chemistry I-Honors (2 cr.)
CHEM S126 Experimental Chemistry II-Honors (2 cr.)
The courses CHEM S105, CHEM S106, CHEM S125, and CHEM S126 may be substituted for CHEM C105, CHEM C106,
CHEM C125, and CHEM C126 respectively for all degree requirements.
A person with a chemistry major could work as an industrial chemist; enter a professional school
(medical, dental, optometry, veterinary medicine, pharmacy, law) or a medical technology program; enter
graduate school in chemistry or in a related field such as anatomy, biochemistry, biophysics, chemical
physics, computer science, chemical engineering, medical biophysics, medicinal chemistry, microbiology,
pharmacology, physiology, toxicology, or materials science.
Introductory Courses
General interest courses offered for students in programs requiring only one semester of
chemistry:
CHEM C100 World of Chemistry
CHEM C100 Chemistry of Food, Health, and Disease
CHEM C120 Chemistry Laboratory (2 cr.)
Courses offered for students required to complete two semesters of chemistry:
CHEM C101 Elementary Chemistry I
CHEM C102 Elementary Chemistry II
CHEM C121 Elementary Chemistry Laboratory I (2 cr.)
CHEM C122 Elementary Chemistry Laboratory II (2 cr.)
Courses offered for students needing basic courses that provide the foundation for advanced work in
scientific fields:
CHEM C105 Principles of Chemistry I
CHEM C106 Principles of Chemistry II
CHEM C125 Experimental Chemistry I (2 cr.)
CHEM C126 Experimental Chemistry II (2 cr.)
Placement Examination
Students planning to enroll in CHEM C101 Elementary Chemistry I or CHEM C105 Principles of Chemistry I
must place at level IV of the mathematics placement examination before registering for the course. This
examination is used to determine whether or not a student has the mathematical skills required for CHEM
C101 and CHEM C105.
Students planning to enroll in CHEM S105 Principles of Chemistry I-Honors must place at level VI of
the mathematics placement examination before enrolling in the course. The examination is designed to
determine whether or not a student has sufficient mathematical background for CHEM S105.
Information about the mathematics placement examination may be found in the mathematics section of
this Campus Bulletin.

Biology. Students who need to take LAS electives (not requirements) for graduation may apply credit earned
from any medical or dental courses completed in the first year of professional school.
Minor in Chemistry
(All courses are 3 cr. hours unless otherwise designated.)
A minor in chemistry shall consist of the following courses (minimum grade of C required):
CHEM C105 Principles of Chemistry I
