Important Notes
- At least two years of German or Russian are strongly recommended.
- Chemistry majors may elect up to 12 credits of Independent Research and Study.
- In the senior year, chemistry majors are required to take the Chemistry Advanced Test of the Graduate Record Examination. Scores must be submitted to the department chairperson.
These requirements are in addition to the Core Curriculum Requirements. Please see the Academic Catalogs for more information, including course descriptions.
