This curriculum is approved by the American Chemical Society. With this degree students are more likely to be hired as practicing chemists or gain admission to professional programs or graduate schools. Students who wish to double major in Chemistry and another subject area, such as Biology, or who are not prepared to begin calculus in their freshman year should consider the regular Chemistry major, which has fewer prescribed chemistry courses. The Professional Chemistry curriculum offers a choice of two tracks-one with a biomolecular emphasis and one with a materials science emphasis-that differ starting in the junior year. Some courses are offered only one semester each year, and others are offered in alternative years, so please consult early and often with your advisor to plan your schedule. With either Chemistry major, students may substitute University Physics (PHYS 2110 /PHYS 2111 , PHYS 2120 /2121 PHYS 2121 ) for College Physics (PHYS 2010 /PHYS 2011 ,PHYS 2020 /PHYS 2021 ).
