Footnotes

1. ^{Alternative numbers represent honors versions of these classes.}
2. ^{Depends on math placement/AP credit. Students should take the highest math for which they place and continue until completing at least Calculus III.}
3. ^{Depending on English placement/AP credit. Students taking EN 103 can do so in either semester and do not need EN 101/102.}
4. ^{General education requirements: freshmen composition (6 h), foreign language or computer science (6 h), humanities, literature, and fine arts (12 h), history and social and behavioral sciences (12 h). Students must take a 2-semester sequence in either literature or history. Natural science and math requirements will be met in the Chemistry major. A minor is required in this degree.}
5. ^{Writing courses. Students in this track will need one additional writing course outside of chemistry. Students should explore writing courses in their minor.}
6. ^{Offered fall only}
7. ^{Pre-medical students should take Biochemistry I in the fall of year 3 to be prepared for the MCAT. Students could continue to Biochemistry II in the spring of year 3 if desired.}
8. ^{Offered spring only}
9. ^{Students who complete Biochemistry in the third year can take CH 463 in fall of the fourth year if desired.}
