The following Curriculum: Major Requirements - 53 hours of Chemistry and Biochemistry including the courses listed above. FOOTNOTES: 1 = If a student is not ready for MATH 165, the math sequence may be moved back one semester, and Math 107 (also MATH 103, if needed) should be taken in the first semester. 2 = Suggested electives are courses in Physics, Mathematics, Biochemistry, Biology, Languages, Computer Science, Chemical Engineering, Business Management, and Speech. 3 = CHEM 44x (441, 442, and 443) courses are offered within a regular, two-year cycle. Students can take CHEM 44x courses in any order and that order may differ from the one shown above. To complete the degree in 4 years, students must start their Junior Year by taking the first available CHEM 44x course of the cycle. 4 = Other undergraduate and graduate-level courses in chemistry may be taken as electives. 5 = Two semesters of a foreign language are required. If a student wishes to pursue Study Abroad, taking language courses earlier is recommended. 6 = Chem 471 and 471 are offered in spring odd years.

REQUIRED 120 credits (36 of which must be numbered 300 or above and 30 of which must be from UND) including: I. Essential Studies Requirements (see University ES listing). II. The Following Curriculum: Major Requirements - 40 hours of Chemistry including the courses listed above.
FOOTNOTES:
1 = Biology 150 and 151 can be taken in the sophomore year. They are prerequisites to other required biology courses.
2 = If a student is not ready for MATH 146, MATH 103 should be taken in the first semester. If a student would like the option to change into the B.S. in Chemistry or the B.S. with a Major in Chemistry with emphasis on the Physical Science Option at a later date, be aware that MATH 165, 166, and 265 are required. If a student who begins either the B.S. in Chemistry or the B.S. with a Major in Chemistry with emphasis on the Physical Science Option wishes to change to the Biochemistry Option, Math 165 will substitute for Math 146.
3 = Other undergraduate and graduate-level courses in Chemistry may be taken as electives. Inorganic Chemistry I (Chem 254/L) is especially recommended for broader chemistry knowledge. Other suggested electives are courses in Physics, Mathematics, Biochemistry, Biology, Languages, Computer Science, Chemical Engineering, Business Management, and Speech. You must complete enough electives to bring total credit hours up to 120. Special Emphasis courses can fulfill an essential studies requirement. Please Note: Every student must fulfill all University, Departmental, and Essential Studies requirements.
4 = Instead of Cell Biology (BIOL 341) or Genetics (BIOL 315), students may take Microbiology (BIMD 302/L).
5 = Two semesters of a foreign language are required. If a student wishes to pursue Study Abroad, taking language courses earlier is recommended.
