The programs of study in the Department of Chemistry are approved by the American Chemical Society and have been designed to provide scientific training for students. Two programs of study for a bachelor's degree with a major in chemistry are provided to meet the different career goals of the candidate as identified below.

Students seeking a bachelor's degree in the following major must complete: (1) degree requirements for a Bachelor of Arts or Science degree and (2) University Studies requirements (refer to those sections of this catalog). In addition, courses in the major must be completed as shown below. Transfer students are required to complete a minimum of Chemistry 352 and 9-10 semester hour for a major and Chemistry 351 and 3-4 semester hours of chemistry for a minor at A&M-Commerce.

This degree provides a background in chemistry for students whose career goals are to enter the health professions, not chemistry fields. This program is intended for pre-medical and other pre-professional students, and for students intending careers in sciences closely related to chemistry who want a second major in chemistry. The competencies of students who elect this degree option are an understanding of the basic theory and practices of chemistry which rests on application of calculus.

* Math 1314 and 142 are prerequisites for Math 2413; if not needed, 6 semester credit hours electives may be substituted.

**Some programs may require additional hours.
