The professional track prepares students for graduate study in chemistry and provides
for job placement as a chemist.
In order to earn a major in chemistry under the professional track you must take at least 52 semester hours in chemistry.
The Chemistry (Professional Track) Curriculum:
The 52 hours in chemistry must include the introductory chemistry sequence CHEM 1211
and 1212 and CHEM 2810 (Quantitative Analysis). The remaining hours are listed below:
Two additional courses must be selected from the following options:
In addition, you must take PHYS 2211 and 2212 along with MATH 1113 (Pre-calculus),
MATH 2011, 2012 (Calculus I, II), and MATH 3020 (Differential Equations). You must
also meet all University Core Curriculum and graduation requirements as outlined in
the university catalog.
Although there is not a required minor, many of our students choose to do extra work
in biology, physics or other areas depending on their interests. Work on an undergraduate
research project with one of our faculty is also encouraged. In any event, regular
communication with your academic advisor is necessary to ensure satisfactory completion
of your degree requirements and to guarantee that you are progressing along the lines
dictated by your future interests in chemistry.
