Bachelor of Science (BS) Major in Chemistry-NEW Curriculum 2023
Requirements include the Loyola Core Curriculum including the writing-intensive and language requirement, eighteen chemistry courses totaling 46 credit hours, four physics courses totaling 8 credit hours, three mathematics courses totaling 11 hours. Chemistry 300 (Undergraduate Research) is strongly recommended. Credit hours earned in Chemistry 300 or Chemistry 380 or Chemistry 399 do not count as elective hours satisfying the BS degree requirement. Both CHEM 300 and 380 are required for Departmental honors. The CHEM-BS degree is accredited by the American Chemical Society.
