| The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at UTA has been recognized for excellence in both teaching and research. Although emerging as a research department of national rank, we are still small enough to give individual attention to our students. We encourage our majors to become involved in the research programs in biochemistry or the areas of analytical, inorganic, organic, physical or polymer chemistry so that by the time they graduate, students have agood idea of how a practicing chemist or biochemist functions. |

| We offer a full range of undergraduate degree programs designed to train professional chemists and biochemists through our Bachelor of Science Degree in Chemistry and Bachelor of Science Degree in Biochemistry. These degrees are certified by the American Chemical Society Committee on Professional Training of Chemists. We also offer a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Chemistry for students who wish to take more liberal arts courses as well as for future teachers. Finally, we offer a combined Bachelor of Science/Master of Science Degree for those students who plan on pursuing an advanced degree in Chemistry. |

| 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 before they will be admitted to the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry as a major. 1. Chemistry 1301, 1302, and 1284. 2. Six hours of mathematics approved by the department. 3. Four hours of biology or geology. 4. 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 department advisor.
Calculation of Chemistry Grade Point Average Only chemistry courses required in the degree program will be used in calculating the chemistry grade point average for chemistry degree candidates |
