Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry - Sample Program
The following example program is appropriate for a student entering Mizzou with a good high school background in chemistry and mathematics. Students who require Precalculus Mathematics (MATH 1160) and/or have limited prior exposure to chemistry (and thus need to take CHEM 1310) should consult with an advisor to plan a revised schedule. Also, please note that a student may offset part or all of the foreign language requirement by presenting appropriate high school credit. This example program is presented as a guide only and is not meant to replace consultation with an advisor.

Notes:
§ Students may substitute CHEM 1500H, Honors Intensive General Chemistry (5), for CHEM 1320 and 1330.
* The scheduling of General Education or Elective courses given above is only a suggestion, since they need not be taken in any particular order. One of them must be designated "Writing Intensive", however.
** Part of a carefully planned course of study in another department consisting of no fewer than 12 hours of courses at the 2000-level or higher.
