Notes
A: Students can substitute Honors General Chemistry I and II, CHEM 10960 (5) and CHEM 10961 (5), in place of the normal General Chemistry sequence.
B: MATH 12001, which is a prerequisite for MATH 12002, should be bypassed by students with sufficient background.
C: Includes LER electives and language requirements as prescribed by the College of Arts and Sciences.
D: Four hours of 40000-level chemistry electives are required; these may be taken during the junior and/or senior years. Up to two credit hours of Individual Investigation (CHEM 40796) may be counted toward this total. Registration for additional hours of this course is permitted and encouraged.
E: Alternatively, this course may be taken in the spring of Year 3.
