The major requires the following:

CHM 111 and CHM 224 (or CHM 118)
CHM 222
Three out of the following four courses: CHM 331 (Physical Chemistry I), CHM 332 (Physical Chem II), CHM 223 (Organic II), and CHM 363 (Advanced Inorganic).
Two out of the following three lab courses: CHM 326, CHM 336, and CHM 346.
Additional courses to bring the total number of courses to 10. These can be selected from courses in items 3 and 4, from other chemistry electives (at or above the 300 level), from independent research (up to one course only), or from BCH 252 (Biochemistry), BCH 352 (Biochemistry), PHY 327 (Quantum Mechanics), PHY 337 (Advanced Quantum Mechanics), PHY 319 (Thermal Physics) or GEO 301 (Aqueous geochemistry).
This is a minimum major. For various career objectives, it may be useful for students to take additional courses. Please discuss this with your advisor.

The following chart shows when the courses in the above list might be taken. Required courses have a pale blue background. Courses from the 3 out of 4 list have a sky blue background. Lab courses (2 out of 3) are indicated with a grey background, and other electives are given with a beige background.

NOTE: Three of the four sky blue colored courses; two of the three gray colored courses.

Underlined courses have mandatory labs associated with them.

Special Issues: CHM 118 can be taken in lieu of CHM 111 and CHM 224. Consult a chemistry advisor before enrolling in CHM 118. The mathematics prerequisite for CHM 331 is MTH 112 or MTH 114. It is recommended that students take PHY 115 and MTH 212 (or PHY 210) before CHM 331.
