¹	Advanced high school chemistry and strong algebra skills are necessary for success in CHEM 201. Math ACT of 24 or greater is strongly recommended.
²	Students may substitute the following courses, if necessary: CHEM 201 for 177 and 178; CHEM 177L for 177N or 201L. CHEM 331L and 332L for 333L and 334L; however, this substitution may result in a program which is deficient in the laboratory experience recommended by the American Chemistry Society. CHEM 321L for 322L; however this substitution may result in a program which is deficient in the laboratory experience recommended by the American Chemistry Society. PHYS 111 and 112 for PHYS 221 and 222, however PHYS 221 and 222 are highly recommended.
³	Required of Chemistry Learning Community Members.
⁴	Completion of three years of foreign language in high school fulfills this requirement.
F	Class offered Fall Semester only.
S	Class offered Spring Semester only.
	Individuals earning a B.A. degree in Chemistry who have taken 331L, 334L and 322L can obtain American Chemical Society certification by taking an additional advanced chemistry lecture course of BBMB 301 or 404. CHEM 550 may not be used to satisfy the Advanced Chemistry requirement.
