Undergraduate Programs and Requirements

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry offers majors in chemistry and in biochemistry leading to a bachelor of science degree. A student who is majoring in chemistry or biochemistry is not required to earn a minor in another area. The department also offers a minor in chemistry.

General Education: University Core Curriculum and Distribution Requirements

General Education Distribution Requirements are noted in the individual degree tables. In those cases where a requirement is not specified, see General Education Overview  in the Howard College of Arts and Sciences introductory pages for a list of required and applicable courses.

Chemistry and biochemistry majors must take MATH 240 - Calculus I (4)  to satisfy the general education mathematics requirement, and PHYS 203 - Physics I (5)  and PHYS 204 - Physics II (5)  to satisfy the general education natural and computational sciences requirement.
