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.

*An approved 3-credit EP Foundation Course may be substituted for COMM 100 and C/IL 102/102L . In this case, the total needed for graduation in this major may be reduced. Consult with your advisor if you have questions.
