Chemistry General Curriculum Sequence

School Requirements: In addition to meeting the requirements in General Education and in the major, students must also complete six (6) credits in the Complementary Studies required of all majors in the School of Computer, Mathematical, and Natural Sciences. Options for satisfying this requirement are outlined under the section on the School of Computer, Mathematical, and Natural Sciences. Also, to qualify for graduation, students must pass the Senior Departmental Comprehensive Examination; must have taken all of their junior-and senior-level requirements in the major at Morgan (unless granted prior written permission by the Dean to take courses elsewhere); and must have earned a cumulative average of 2.0 or better and a major average of 2.0 or better, with no outstanding grades below “C” in the major (which includes all courses required for the major and required supporting courses).

This degree option provides an opportunity for students to prepare for the study of medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, and for careers in secondary education. Students who complete this major will not be certified by the department for graduate study in Chemistry.
