Eight-Semester Degree Plan
Students enrolling in the eight-semester degree plan should review the Eight-Semester Degree Completion Policy.
State minimum core requirements may vary by individual, based on placement and previous credit granted. Once all core requirements are met, students may substitute with general electives in consultation with their academic adviser.
This program meets the minimum requirements for certification by the American Chemical Society if CHEM 38103 (or CHEM 481H3/CHEM 484H3 or CHEM 58103/CHEM 58403) is included.
