Basic Requirements for Bachelor of Science Degree in Chemistry
The following courses or their equivalents are required as the foundation preparations for the Chemistry Program’s undergraduate students. When there exists an UHCL course for the requirement, its course number and title are also listed.
Chemistry Program’s course descriptions can be found here. You can also find the roster of courses for the School of Science and Computer Engineering at the UHCL site.
Students are expected to complete most of these required foundation courses before entering the chemistry program. However, it is possible to be enrolled in the B.S. program and taking a few of the foundation courses at local community colleges at the same time.
UHCL has general lower level course requirements. A list of all required lower level courses is described in the 2+2 plan for the chemistry program.
