Chemistry Major (Bachelor of Science)

A student majoring in chemistry must complete 65-66 quarter hours in the major, the required cognates, and the general studies program for the baccalaureate degree as outlined in this bulletin. No minor is required for the Bachelor of Science degree. Senior students are required to take the Major Field Test (MFT) examination in chemistry. Transfer credit accepted towards the chemistry major must be from major's courses at the institution originating the credit.
