Possible Schedules for a Chemistry Major

In the schematic schedules given below, some indication of science/non-science course distribution is indicated. This is not a required distribution. Science electives are indicated in light blue--examples include Physics 115, 116, 210, 211, Math 112, 211, 212, Biology 111, 112; Electives in the humanities and social sciences are indicated in light gray. Schemes are given for a "normal" major, a major with honors, a major that earns American Chemical Society certification, and for a major starting in the second year.

Normal Schedule Note that the courses in the junior and senior years can be taken in many different arrangements from that given here; this is one possible choice.
