Specific requirements of particular post-graduate institutions should be ascertained early in the undergraduate program since these requirements may require courses for admission beyond the minimum required for majors in chemistry. An advisor on Health-Related Professions is available to assist students planning careers in medicine or other health professions.

A Major in Chemistry (B.A. or B.S.) is not open to students majoring in Biochemistry (B.A. or B.S.).
