Total Credits Needed for Degree 120
(Includes Core Curriculum requirements, required courses and electives. Students should consult with their academic advisors in selecting elective courses to complete the 120 semester hours required for graduation.) Graduation Requirements
To graduate with a major in chemistry, a student must attain an overall major grade point average of 2.0 or higher. Different courses are considered in the calculation of the major grade point average depending on the student’s concentration. All courses required for a given concentration count towards the major grade point average. In cases where additional (beyond those required) electives listed for a given concentration are taken, all count towards the major grade point average calculation.
Teaching Licensure
Students preparing to teach chemistry in the secondary schools are required to take courses in professional education in addition to Core Curriculum courses and courses required by the chemistry major. Interested students should contact the College of Education and Human Development for more information.
