Chemistry Degree Requirements

Complete these required courses for a Chemistry degree or B.S. with a major in Chemistry degree.

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 guidelines and course listings.)

II. The Following Curriculum:

Students may choose one the the ACS tracks listed below. The student must complete the requirements for:

  1. Introductory Courses: Orientation to Chemistry (CHEM 101) and either Fundamentals of Chemistry Concepts and Lab (CHEM 221 and CHEM 221L) OR the combination of General Chemistry I and II with Labs (CHEM 121, CHEM 121L, CHEM 122, and CHEM 122L)

  2. Foundational Courses: 5 one-semester courses at least three credits each. One class in each area of Chemistry: Analytical, Biochemistry, Inorganic, Organic, Physical

  3. In-Depth Courses: Four courses that add up to at least 12 credits. For a course to be considered in-depth, it must have a Foundational Course pre-requisite.

  4. Research and Capstone: Students must complete Senior Research (CHEM 494) and a capstone, typically Chemistry Capstone (CHEM 495). A capstone from another department may be considered.
