Social science requirements are fulfilled by Institute-approved country/regional elective courses, global economics elective courses, international relations elective courses, and United States and Georgia history/constitution courses.


5: CORE CHEMISTRY LABORATIORIES
The Core Chemistry Lab requirements are fulfilled with

    1. CHEM 3380 (3), and
    2. CHEM 3481 (2), and
    3. Research Experience: Either Undergraduate Research CHEM 4699 (3) OR Undergraduate Internship CHEM 4695 (3). If either internal or external research (CHEM 4698 or CHEM 4694) is conducted for pay rather than credit, any additional free elective (3) may be substituted to achieve the required earned hours to graduate. The research experience must include a comprehensive laboratory report.
