Note:  In addition to course requirements, all students must successfully complete a comprehensive examination in a major area of chemistry (analytical, biological, inorganic, organic, or physical chemistry).

Qualifier Examinations.  Each student must pass qualifying examinations in three of five areas selected from chemistry content (analytical, biological, inorganic, organic, or physical chemistry).  Students will have two opportunities to pass each area exam.  Qualifier examinations are scheduled during the two weeks preceding the beginning of the Fall semester.  If an examination is failed, the requirement may be satisfied by completing designated undergraduate coursework in the appropriate subdiscipline with a minimum grade of “B”.
