*Fulfills Writing Enriched course requirement for Major.
**Approved Chemistry electives include any Chemistry course at the 200-level or
above, excluding CHEM 391.
All of the courses in this major are vital to our program. If you plan to study abroad or
graduate early, you must talk to your advisor early and make plans to take the
required courses when they are offered. Direct study will not be offered for any lab
courses, and will only be granted in extreme circumstances for non-lab courses.
