At least 45 credits in chemistry are required for the B.S. degree. Each student's course of study should include 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, 411, 422, 450 (at least 3 credits), 467.

	(3)	One year of calculus (MAT 295, 296) and PHY 211, 212, 221, 222.

If taken in an appropriate area of research, additional credit in CHE 450 beyond the 3 credits required in (1) above may be substituted for up to 4 laboratory credits with the department's approval.

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).
