*Students meet the Physical Chemistry requirement by taking either CHEM 320 and CHEM 322 (Physical Chemistry I and II) or CHEM 324 (Principles of Physical Chemistry). An additional 3 credit 300-level chemistry course must be taken if the CHEM 320 /CHEM 322 option is used. Two additional 3 credit 300-level chemistry courses must be taken if the CHEM 324 option is used. Two 300-level chemistry laboratory courses are required. One of these laboratories must be either CHEM 313 or CHEM 331 . The second laboratory course must be either CHEM 342 or CHEM 361 .

Note: Where no prerequisites apply, some variation in the order or semester in which courses are taken is possible. Students should consult their academic advisors for additional information.
