The Carlson School of Chemistry and Biochemistry offers two tracks leading to a B.A. in Chemistry. The requirements for the two tracks are designed to allow students to choose their course work depending upon their ultimate career goals.
The ACS-Certified
track is recommended for those students with a strong interest in chemistry
and a desire to continue to a profession in the chemical sciences. It
meets the entrance requirements for graduate study in chemistry. The
Standard track offers more latitude in course selection and is appropriate
for those students with an interest in chemistry, but who plan to continue in
one of the health professions (medical, dental, veterinary school), public
school teaching, technical sales, and other chemistry-related fields. The
recommended courses for the two tracks are the same for the first two semesters,
so students do not need to decide until the spring of their sophomore year.
Courses
Chemistry 101 and 102 are prerequisites for all other chemistry courses. Following Chem 101 and 102, students normally take 100-level courses. Juniors and seniors may take 200 or 300-level courses provided that they have passed the prerequisites and/or have the permission of the instructor. For 300-level courses, the approval of the Dean of the Graduate School is also required.
Please click the links at right under Academic Catalog and Requirements for more detailed information about course selection for the major and minor. Additional suggestions for course planning can be found here.
Labs
Almost all chemistry courses have laboratory work associated with them. These usually involve a one four-hour afternoon session a week when experiments are performed, some reading preparation, plus some time to write up lab reports. Most labs are supervised by TAs (Teaching
Assistants).
Tutoring
Tutoring is available when needed. Please contact your advisor.
