B.S. in Chemistry
Degree
Requirements for a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry: This is the
first professional degree in chemistry. It may be taken as a terminal
degree by students intending to become professional chemists or
for preparation for graduate work in chemistry or biochemistry.
Candidates must complete the following chemistry courses:
Note: the numbers in parenthesis are the old course numbers (prior
to August 2003).

4233 (323) - Laboratory in Instrumental Analysis
4412 (341) - Inorganic Chemistry I
4433 (343) - Inorganic Reactions
3643 (364) - Synthetic and Analytical Methods of
Organic Chemistry
4712 (371) - Biochemistry
Students
must also take two (2) elective hours of advanced work in Chemistry
at the 3000 level or above. Students are encouraged to take Chemistry
290(3905), Chemical Research, to fulfill at least a portion
of the
advanced elective requirement. 51 hours of chemistry courses may
be applied toward the degree. Each candidate must present a
seminar
and pass a comprehensive examination during the senior year.
Note: Students who enrolled at UM-St. Louis for the first
time prior to Fall 2001 are not required to take Biochemistry as
part of the regular B. S. degree program. However, such students
must complete three (3) credits of advanced work in chemistry, instead
of two (2).
