| 1 | MATH 1420 satisfies the Component Area II requirement, the 1 hour institutional component and the degree specific requirement. |
| 2 | CHEM 1411 and CHEM 1412 satisfy the Component Area III requirement and the degree specific requirement. |
| 3 | CHEM 3361, CHEM 3367, CHEM 3368, CHEM 3339, CHEM 4442, and CHEM 4443 are recommended. |
| 4 | A minor in MATH, for instance, only requirements 10 additional hours beyond MATH 1420 and MATH 1430. |
Note
A minor generally requires six semesters of coursework, a minimum of 18 credits (six advanced) in an approved field. Students should use elective and minor hours to satisfy the 42 advanced hour requirement.
Teacher Certification
Students seeking a background that will prepare them to teach chemistry at the secondary level might pursue a major in chemistry with a minor in secondary education, or they might major in chemistry, minor in another discipline, and seek alternative teaching certification.
Emphasis in Biochemistry-Biotechnology
Students seeking a background that will prepare them for the emerging technologies in biochemistry and biotechnology can select advanced courses that will lead to a major in chemistry and a minor in biology.
