General Major in Chemistry
This program is available to students who desire a systematic training in chemistry as a background for a career in other fields, such as business, education, information science, journalism, or law. It will also be useful to students who wish to earn the equivalent of a second major in another discipline.
Students choosing the general major in chemistry will also be required to submit to the department chair, for approval, a systematic program of elective courses designed to promote their stated career goals. A 2.0 quality point average must be achieved in this program of electives.

In addition, two upper
division electives in chemistry must be
taken.
One of these
upper division electives could be 3 cr. of CH399, undergraduate
research, which can be partially fulfilled in summer, spring or
fall.
* Students entering with a
rigorous background in chemistry may elect to take CH151 and CH153
as
substitutes for the CH141-144
sequence.
** Either CH 361 or the CH
365-366 sequence will satisfy this requirement.
*** PH 135-136 (with PH 135L-136L) may be substituted for PH 125 - 126 by permission.
**** MT228 (Biostatistics) may be substituted for MT136 (Calculus II) by chair permission.
