Chemistry (BS)

Students contemplating a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry or Biochemistry should begin the introductory and organic chemistry sequence (CHEM 1301, CHEM 2311, and CHEM 2312) the fall semester of their freshman year or as soon as they satisfy the math pre-requisite. MATH 2312 and MATH 2313 should be completed by the end of the sophomore year if possible.
