Objectives
There are two tracks available in the chemistry major, ACS-certified track and General track.
The Bachelor of Science degree program, approved by the Committee on Professional Training of the American Chemical Society (ACS), ACS certified track in Chemistry, is designed to prepare the student not only for immediate entry into the profession of chemistry at the Bachelor’s level but also for graduate study toward advanced degrees.
The Bachelor of Science degree program, General track in Chemistry, provides the student with a flexible program that builds upon a solid fundamental knowledge in chemistry. Students work with their advisors/chairperson to select upper division elective courses in emphasis areas like health sciences-which include but are not limited to medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, optometry-and areas such as forensics, environmental chemistry, education, etc. Lower Division Requirements: ACS-certified track and General track
Note:
A grade of at least C (2.0) is required in each of the CHEM courses. With approval of the Chairperson, MATH 131 and MATH 132 ; PHYS 101 and PHYS 201 may be substituted, as a complete package, for MATH 122 and MATH 123 ; PHYS 253 and PHYS 254 . An average of C (2.0) is required for the BIOL, MATH, and PHYS courses. Upper Division Requirements: ACS-certified track
33 upper division semester hours of CHEM courses, including
For UD CHEM electives,
a minimum of 2 lecture courses and 1 lab credit must be selected from Note:
The remaining semester hours may be fulfilled with any UD chemistry elective. Upper Division Requirements: General track
31 upper division semester hours of CHEM and CHEM/Emphasis courses, including Note:
CHEM UD electives and Emphasis UD electives can be selected from any 300- and 400-level courses offered in the Chemistry and Biochemistry Department. The Emphasis courses can also be selected from other CSE departments. All UD elective courses must be approved by and developed in conjunction with your academic advisor/chairperson. Example emphasis areas are: Chemical Education, Environmental Chemistry, Health Sciences (Medicine, Pharmacy, Dentistry, Optometry, etc.) and others. For both ACS-certified and General tracks:
Except for CHEM 390 and CHEM 490 , a grade of at least C (2.0) must be obtained in each course included in the upper division requirements of the major. All upper division courses must be completed at LMU. Strongly recommended for those intending graduate study: CHEM 397 /CHEM 497 . A maximum of 12 semester hours of Chemistry/Biochemistry Internship and/or Directed Research (CHEM 393 , CHEM 397 , CHEM 493 , CHEM 497 ) may be included toward the 124-hour baccalaureate requirement.
To be eligible for the Dean’s list, students must have completed 15 semester hours at LMU for that semester. Chemistry Curriculum-ACS-Certified Track
