Academic Advising: 817-272-5442

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry offers three programs of study leading to the bachelor's degree and one leading to both the bachelor's and master's degree. They are the Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry, the Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, the Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry, and a combined Bachelor of Science-Master of Science in Chemistry.

•Professional Chemist: Students who wish to become professional chemists or whose goals include graduate education in chemistry should pursue the Bachelor of Science in Chemistry. Alternatively, students may choose the Bachelor of Science-

Master of Science combined program. Prospective students should contact the departmental undergraduate advisor.

•Professional Biochemist: Students who wish to become professional biochemists or whose goals include graduate education in biochemistry, should pursue the Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry. Prospective students should contact the departmental undergraduate advisor.

•Premedical and Predental Programs: Students who wish to prepare for entry into medical or dental school may choose to major in chemistry or biochemistry. While any of the three bachelor's programs will meet the minimum requirements, the department recommends either the Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry or the Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry. Prospective students should contact both the departmental undergraduate advisor and the premedical advisor in the College of Science.

•Preallied Health Programs: Students who wish to prepare for entry into pharmacy or veterinary school, nursing, medical technology, physical therapy, or occupational therapy may choose to major in chemistry. Prospective students should contact the departmental undergraduate advisor.

•Chemistry as a Teaching Field: Although students who intend to teach chemistry at the secondary school level may pursue any of the degrees, the Bachelor of Arts Degree offers the greatest flexibility.

Declaring a Major in Chemistry or Biochemistry

New students enter the University as part of the Academic Foundations Program (AFP). Beginning freshmen who intend to declare chemistry or biochemistry as a major must complete the following courses with a minimum GPA of 2.25 in chemistry and an overall GPA of 2.25 before they will be admitted to the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry as a major.

•Chemistry 1301, 1302, and 1284.

•Six hours of mathematics approved by the department.

•Four hours of biology or geology.

•12 hours from courses in the University core curriculum other than science or mathematics (English, history, political science, social and cultural studies, fine arts and philosophy).

Transfer students who transfer part or all of the above requirements must complete a minimum of 11 hours of approved science and mathematics courses in residence with a minimum GPA of 2.25 to be eligible to major in chemistry or biochemistry.

All new students who intend to major in chemistry or biochemistry should schedule an appointment for advising with the departmental undergraduate advisor.

Second Major

A person who satisfies the requirements for any other baccalaureate degree qualifies for having chemistry named as a second major upon completion of 27 semester hours from among CHEM 2321, 2181, 2322, 2182, and chemistry courses with higher numbers. The specific courses to be used must be approved by the undergraduate advisor and the chair of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry.
