Chemistry
The student of chemistry examines, describes and explores the composition, structure and properties of substances and the changes they undergo. This curriculum provides a firm foundation in the principles of chemistry as well as sufficient experience to prepare the student for basic research, secondary school teaching, the pursuit of a career in medicine, or graduate study in the field.
Learning Outcomes
Students completing a major in Chemistry should demonstrate the ability to:
- Be able to apply knowledge of chemistry, physics and math to solve chemical problems.
- Possess a breadth of knowledge in analytical, physical, organic, analytical, inorganic and bio-chemistry.
- Be able to identify, formulate and solve complex problems.
- Have a mastery of techniques and skills used by chemists.

Major Requirements
A combined major in chemistry requires seven upper-division courses, in addition to senior thesis. This reduces the load of a regular chemistry major by two courses.
Required Courses
All lower-division courses and prerequisites in other disciplines (math, physics) must still be met.
