1 MATH 1420 requirement for Core Curriculum Component Area II (Mathematics) as well as one hour of Component Area IX (Component Area Option). 2 CHEM 1411 and CHEM 1412  satisfy the Core Curriculum requirements for Component Area III (Life and Physical Science) and the Degree Specific requirement. 3 2 hours, more if non-advanced prescribed electives are selected. 4 Recommended Biology minor is 7-8 additional advanced hours if BIOL 3450 was one of the prescribed electives, 11-12 hours otherwise.

Bachelor of Science, Major in Chemistry: Forensic Science Concentration

http://catalog.shsu.edu/undergraduate/colleges-academic-departments/science-and-engineering-technology/chemistry/bs-chemistry-forensic-science/

1 MATH 1420 satisfies the Core Curriculum requirement for Component Area II (Mathematics), the one semester credit hour Core Curriculum requirement for Component Area IX (Component Area Option), and the Degree Specific requirement. 2 CHEM 1411 and CHEM 1412 satisfy the Core Curriculum requirement for Component Area III (Life and Physical Science) and the Major requirement. 3 A minor generally requires six semesters of coursework, a minimum of 18 credits (six advanced) in approved field. Students should use elective and minor hours to satisfy the 42 advanced hour requirement. Advanced hours are 3000- and 4000-level courses. A minor in Math, as a common example, requires 10 additional hours beyond MATH 1420 and MATH 1430 for 121 hours total. Alternatively, a Forensic Science minor is recommended for additional coursework in ethics and evidence handling. The following minors cannot be paired with this degree program: Minor in Chemistry.
