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: Offered in alternate years.
E: A tital of 2 hours of electives selected from the following list are required: CHEM 40483 (1), CHEM 40477 (1), CHEM 40568 (1), CHEM 30104 (2), CHEM 30102 (1), CHEM 40571 (2), CHEM 40796 (1-2); these courses are typically taken durring the junior or senior years.
