Requirements include 36 credits in chemistry core courses, 32 of which are taken in specific courses. Each student's course of study includes the following:

	(1)	CHE 106, 116 or CHE 109, 119; CHE 107, 117 or CHE 129, 139; CHE 275, 276, 325, 326, 335, 346, 347, 356, 357.
	(2)	At least 4 credits chosen from CHE 411, 422, 427, 436, 467, 546, 575 or selected graduate courses with the instructor's approval.
	(3)	One year of calculus (MAT 285, 286 or MAT 295, 296) and PHY 211, 212, 221, 222.

Students are encouraged to gain some research experience by enrolling in CHE 450, which may be substituted for a 3-credit course listed in (2) above by petitioning the department.

Students with a score of 5 on the AP chemistry exam who complete CHE 275/276 during their first semester at SU, and who also take all of their required CHE courses numbered 300 or above at SU, are exempt from the requirement to take CHE 106/107 and CHE 116/117 (or their Honors equivalents).
