¹For ACS certification, Chemistry majors must complete MATH 222 , MATH 341 , CHEM 350 or CHEM 450 and one upper-division chemistry elective.

²The selection of a First Year Seminar is likely to fulfill requirements both for the First Year Seminar and a General Education Requirement. Thus, the First Year Seminar will not add to the total credits for the semester. Talk with your advisor if you have any questions.
