The following are sample plans of course requirements to complete the Chemistry and Biochemistry major in four years or eight semesters.
Each student’s experience will vary slightly, as these plans do not include transfer work or credit for prior learning (such as Advanced Placement-AP).
Math, English, and Reading placement is primarily determined by high school performance and confirmed by on-site assessment.
If fundamental courses are required, they should be taken within the first year.
All courses listed are three semester hours unless indicated otherwise.
NOTE: Four-year plans assume the student is prepared to take the courses listed. If prerequisites are required, additional semester hours may be required to complete the degree.
*Experiential Learning suggestions to complete CHM 190, CHM 290 and CHM 390 in the suggested sequence to achieve the required ten (10) semester hours total, three (3) must be in CHM 290 orCHM 390.
**Eight (8) semester hours from: Chemistry (CHM) or Biology (BIO) courses numbered 280 or above (not including BIO 390 or CHM 390/CHM 400.
