This Eight Semester Plan is provided as a general guideline. It DOES NOT reduce the importance of careful discussions between a student and his or her academic advisor.
Some degree requirements, such as those for upper division and liberal arts credits, may not be completely delineated in this plan. Students are responsible for reviewing their own Degree
Audit Report each semester to track their own progress toward degree requirements.
Please see additional
disclaimers and information about these Eight Semester Plans, which are currently under development.

Notes
The number of elective courses must be sufficient to bring the total number of credits to at least 120 and the total number of credits of courses above the 200 level to 45.
Students intending to complete the general degree but not the ACS approved program or the biochemistry emphasis can substitute a 400 or 500 level chemistry course approved by the department chair in place of Biochemistry 1.
Total Credits: 114-121
