Notes
A: These physics courses satisfy the College's Basic Sciences general requirement.
B: MATH 12001, which is a prerequisite for MATH 12002, should be bypassed by students with sufficient background. This course satisfies the College's Mathematics and Logic general requirement.
C: Two diversity courses are required. One course must address domestic issues, and the other must address global issues. At least one course must be selected from the courses that can fulfill the Humanities and Fine Arts or Social Sciences requirements.
D: These may include (but are not limited to) additional CHEM courses; Individual Investigation (CHEM 40796) and Senior Honors Thesis (CHEM 40099) are particularly encouraged.
