1 CHEM 121/121L may be taken in lieu of CHEM 221/221L and CHEM 122/122L may be taken in lieu of CHEM 254/254L. 2 CHE 235 and CHE 335 may be taken in lieu of the CHE 232, CHE 331, CHE 332 sequence. 3 CHEM 341/341L may be taken in lieu of CHEM 340/340L. 4 CHE 413/414 may be taken in lieu of CHE 412.
Students must complete enough electives to bring total credit hours up to the 125. Special Emphasis courses can fulfill an essential studies requirement (example-History 104, US History, will count toward the US Diversity as well as the Humanities area). Please Note: Every student must fulfill all University, Departmental, and Essential Studies requirements.
