B.A. Chemistry
Students pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry should complete ENGL 1101 or ENGL 1101P, and COMM 1101 during the freshman year, and ENGL 1102 should be passed by, or during, the sophomore year. (General Education Objective 1 is satisfied by taking ENGL 1101 or ENGL 1101P, AND ENGL 1102. General Education Objective 2 is satisfied by COMM 1101.) Objective 3 should be fulfilled by MATH 1160 or MATH 1170 as early as possible. The other General Education Requirements should be taken as credit load allows. Students pursuing this degree must complete 8 of the 9 General Education Objectives (a minimum of 36 credits - see the General Education Requirements described in the Academic Information section of this catalog).

Electives
Students must take 8 additional upper-division (3000-4000 level) credits in chemistry, approved by the department and not to include CHEM 4491. No more than 2 credits of CHEM 3311 and 2 credits in CHEM 4481-CHEM 4482 may be used to satisfy these electives. If the CHEM 4445 and CHEM 4447 sequence is taken, 3 credits may be used to satisfy elective credits. No more than 40 credits in chemistry will count toward graduation in this program.
