Chemistry Undergraduate Program

Admission to the Undergraduate Program

The Department of Chemistry offers two curriculum degree plans, a BA and BS.

• Within those degrees, the department offers the following sub plans:
  • BA-Biological Chemistry Option and Environmental Chemistry Option
  • BS-Biological Chemistry Option, Chemical Physics Option, and Environmental Chemistry Option,
• Because the study of chemistry requires preparation in other supportive courses, students should begin meeting major requirements in their first year.
• Students interested in declaring Chemistry as their major may do so at any time, however students must declare a major by the first semester of their junior year (sometime between 45-60 credit hours).
• Information and major declaration forms are available in the Chemistry Department office. Please see:
