Schedule your chemistry lab first since there is only one section of it. Build the rest of your schedule
around it. If your math placement requires you to start with a lower math course than 165, start your math
in the fall semester. If necessary, chemistry professional majors can postpone BIOL 155.
Scheduling of many general education courses such as the History, Humanities, Literature, Fine Arts, and
Social Science electives as well as SPCH 101 and CMPS 130 is flexible. For example, CMPS 130 is listed
in the fall semester of your sophomore year, but if there are no open sections when you register, you can
take your literature elective then instead and take CMPS 130 later. Be sure to check the prerequisites for
each course.

Schedule classes with only one section (e.g., PHYS 201, 202, 203 204, CHEM 221, 222, 300, 302) first.
Avoid postponing Physics because that would push back when you can take Physical Chemistry and upper
level chemistry courses and make it difficult to finish in four years.
Always discuss your schedule plans with your faculty advisor in the Physical
Sciences Department. You may obtain the name of your advisor in the department
office, Beauregard 138. Consult with him or her regularly.

(1) Social and Behavioral Science electives must come from ECON, GEOG,GOVT, PSYC, or SOCI. Two
courses are required. One must be at the 200 level or higher.
(2) Mathematics options include Differential Equations (355) and Mathematical Probability and Statistics
(407). Linear Algebra (360) is also acceptable, but it has an additional prerequisite, MATH 358,
Foundations of Mathematics. Students electing this option might consider declaring a minor in
mathematics. This requires three MATH courses numbered above 265.
(3) Chemistry electives and free electives must total at least 9 hour. At least 5 of these hours must come
from CHEM 436, 451, 452, 480, 481, and 490. The remaining hours (“free electives”) may come from any
course that can count towards graduation provided the requirement in the next section is met. You may
distribute these courses between the fall and spring semesters as you choose.
45-Hour Requirement. You are required to have at least 45 hours from courses at the 300 and 400 level.
Required courses for this concentration include 44 hours at this level. To fulfill the 45 hour
requirement, you may elect to take at least 6 hours of the chemistry electives listed in (3). Alternatively,
you may select a free elective or one of your general education courses such as the second social
sciences option at this level. Discuss this with your advisor before registering for the first semester of
your senior year to be sure that you are meeting this requirement.
Always discuss your schedule plans with your faculty advisor in the Physical
Sciences Department. You may obtain the name of your advisor in the department
office, Beauregard 138. Consult with him or her regularly.
