Additionally, complete enough additional upper division units in Chemistry (CHE) or related areas to reach at least 43 total units of upper division major coursework. Depending on which physical and organic series are chosen, this will be between 11 and 18 additional upper division units. When credit is earned for one physical and organic series, units from the other series cannot count towards the major. These additional upper division units must include at least one course with formal lectures; courses in related areas must be approved in advance by the major advisor. For a list of pre-approved courses in related areas, see AB in Chemistry - Approved Electives (PDF). If interested in taking courses not on this list, they must be approved in advance by the major adviser.
*MAT 21A-21B-21C-21D and 22A-22AL-22B are recommended prior to enrolling in the CHE 110 series.
Total Units for the Major: 79-85 Units
