The math and English courses you will take during your first year will depend on UW System placement exam scores or ACT/SAT subscores. This four-year plan reflects the math and English courses most common for students in this major. All students are encouraged to complete placement testing prior to attending Warhawks SOAR.

By completing the requirements of the Chemistry major, students complete the Bachelor of Science (BS) degree requirements. This program may also be completed as a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in the College of Letters and Sciences, but will require additional coursework. The BA degree emphasizes preparation in the arts, world languages, humanities and social sciences.

This program does not require a minor.

First Year: Joining a university-sponsored club and actively participating is strongly encouraged. Involvement in a club or activity will help you develop interpersonal skills, give you the opportunity to learn and practice leadership skills, and adds to your resume. 

Second Year: The Undergraduate Research Program (URP) is a high-impact practice that gives students the opportunity to apply their knowledge outside of the classroom and dive deeper into their field of interest.                  

Career Information in Letters and Sciences (LSINDP 399) is a 1-credit course that focuses on transition to career and graduate school opportunities; identifying skills, strengths, and work values; creating effective job search materials; and, developing a networking strategy.

Third Year: An internship provides students with hands-on experience in a potential career field, supervision and coaching from prospective employers, and the ability to learn professional norms and behaviors. In addition, completing an internship allows students to differentiate themselves in a competitive job market. 

Fourth Year: All students must earn at least 120 credits and complete undergraduate degree requirements to graduate.

Graduation: Students should apply for graduation one full semester prior to their intended graduation date.
