Notes: *Subject to approval, CHEM 112 may be substituted for CHEM 111 and CHEM 113. **Under circumstances EM 104 may be substituted for a biology course. ***MA 381 also meets this requirement ****CHE 303, CHE 304 and CHEM 360 may be substituted for CHEM 361 and CHEM 362. #Students must complete at least 3 credits of CHEM 490 prior to the Spring quarter of their senior year. Students may count up to 8 credits of research toward their electives, of which no more than 2 credits can come from CHEM 290. ##Research and independent study do not meet this requirement.
