The student majoring in chemistry must take the following courses:

CHM 303 Organic Chemistry I
CHM 304 Organic Chemistry II
CHM 406 Advanced Inorganic Chemistry
CHM 415 Analytical Chemistry
CHM 452 Biochemistry
CHM 475 Junior Seminar
CHM 502 Physical Chemistry I
CHM 503 Physical Chemistry II
CHM 522 Instrumental Analysis
CHM 575 Senior Seminar and Thesis
CHM 590 Chemical Research
Note: CHM 101 and CHM 102, or equivalent, are required as prerequisites for CHM 303.

Chemistry 575 and 590 require completion of a guided laboratory research project by the senior year (typically done during the summer between the junior and senior years) and a written thesis.
In addition to these courses, the chemistry student is required to take one course from the following:

CHM 403 Advanced Organic Chemistry
CHM 419 Analytical Separation Science
CHM 453 Advanced Biochemistry
CHM 504 Advanced Topics in Physical Chemistry 

A student is also required to have, or achieve, calculus competency. This competency may result from AP credit, transfer of differential and integral calculus credit from another institution, or from completion of the following calculus sequence:

MTH 213 Differential Calculus
MTH 214 Integral Calculus

Calculus-based physics is also required:

PHY 201 University Physics I
PHY 202 University Physics II

Calculus and calculus-based physics must be completed prior to the beginning of the junior year in order to meet prerequisites for upper-level chemistry courses.  

Further, all chemistry majors must pass a comprehensive standardized examination during their senior year. The Teaching of Secondary Chemistry Methods (CHM 459) is required of all students pursuing chemistry certification in Secondary Teacher Education.
