The professional track prepares students for graduate study in chemistry and provides for job placement as a chemist. (For more information on What You Can Do With a Chemistry Degree click here.) For additional information, the American Chemical Society (ACS) has a chemistry career website that you can check out. In order to earn a major in chemistry under the professional track you must take at least 52 semester hours in chemistry. The Chemistry (Professional Track) Curriculum:
Two additional courses must be selected from the following options:
In addition, you must take PHYS 1111 and 1112 along with MATH 1113 (Pre-calculus), MATH 2011, 2012 (Calculus I, II), and MATH 3020 (Differential Equations). We also require a computer programming course such as CSCI 1200. You must also meet all University Core Curriculum and graduation requirements as outlined in the university catalog. Although there is not a required minor, many of our students choose to do extra work in biology, physics or other areas depending on their interests. Work on an undergraduate research project with one of our faculty is also encouraged. In any event, regular communication with your academic advisor is necessary to ensure satisfactory completion of your degree requirements and to guarantee that you are progressing along the lines dictated by your future interests in chemistry.
