Chemistry Certificate Program (for non-majors)

The School of Chemistry and Biochemistry offers, for non-chemistry majors, programs of study leading to certificates in three areas: biochemistry/organic chemistry, chemical analysis, and physical/inorganic chemistry. These certificate programs should be of interest to students considering careers in medicine or chemical-related industries, as well as those who wish to strengthen their background in areas of chemistry that are not required by their major.

Each certificate program requires a minimum of 12 hours in a coherent program with at least 9 hours at the 3000 level or higher. These courses must be chosen from the list of courses in the given emphasis area and must be completed with a grade of C or better. Courses required by the student's major may not be used in the certificate program. The following courses may be taken to satisfy the certificate requirements:

Biochemistry/Organic Certificate
Chem 2312, 2313, 2380, 3511, 4311, 4341, 4511, 4512, 4581
