Chemistry Major

The major in Chemistry requires a minimum of 13-15 courses:

• CHEM 014L KS -Basic Principles of Chemistry -CHEM 015L KS -Basic Principles of Chemistry ; or CHEM 029L KS -Accelerated General Chemistry ; or CHEM 042L KS  - Integrated Biology and Chemistry.
• CHEM 116L KS -Organic Chemistry -CHEM 117L KS -Organic Chemistry  
• CHEM 121 KS -Ppls Phys Chem: Thermochemistry -CHEM 122 KS -Ppls Phys Chem: Quantum Chem  
• PHYS 033L KS -Principles of Physics -PHYS 034L KS -Principles of Physics ; or PHYS 030L KS  -PHYS 031L KS -General Physics Life Sciences , with permission of adviser; or both semesters of the AISS course
• CHEM 126L KS -Advanced Laboratory in Chemistry -CHEM 127L KS -Advanced Laboratory in Chemistry  
• CHEM 128 KS -Inorganic Chemistry  
• CHEM 177 KS -Biochemistry  
• Electives: one advanced elective (two halves) in chemistry, molecular biology, or interdisciplinary electives involving chemical concepts of techniques, chosen in consultation with the chemistry faculty
• Senior Thesis in Chemistry: chemistry majors must complete one of the following: CHEM 188L KS -CHEM 190L KS , or CHEM 191 KS . For further information, see “Senior Thesis in Science.”

NOTES: MATH 031 PZ -Calculus II  is co-required of CHEM 121 KS  and MATH 032 PZ -Calculus III  is co-required for CHEM 122 KS . Additional electives in chemistry, mathematics, physics and computer science are strongly recommended for all chemistry majors.
