Notes


For students planning careers in chemistry, the recommended courses (from the list above) are MATH 141 *-MATH 142 *, PHYS 135 *-PHYS 136 * or PHYS 137 *-PHYS 138 *, and CHEM 473 -CHEM 483 ; although not required, certain additional courses are strongly suggested for students planning to become chemists: MATH 241  and CHEM 230 , CHEM 320 , CHEM 329 , and CHEM 406 *. Because professional chemists need a reading knowledge of foreign languages, intermediate level competency should be acquired in German, French, Russian or Japanese. Students who are undecided about their career goals should consult the head of the department at the earliest opportunity. Unlike the Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, the regular Bachelor of Science degree is not approved by the Committee on Professional Training of the American Chemical Society.
