Chemical Sciences, BS, Two-Year Plan
Transfer plan for the Bachelor of Science in Chemical Sciences
Sample Plan for New Students
The sample shows a typical plan to complete the degree based on current degree requirements and course offerings, and is not the only possible plan. The number of credits for each course is in parentheses. Some classes have prerequisites, and the order of courses in the sample plan accounts for these. Each new student, in consultation with their advisor, will complete a personal academic plan tailored to their specific goals and interests.
- Semester Degree Plan (for students who enroll in Summer 2027 or beyond)
- Quarter Degree Plan (for students who enroll prior to Summer 2027)
For more information about 91视频's transition to the semester calendar, visit SU Moves to Semesters. 鈥�
The example below assumes that you enter 91视频 with junior standing (60 semester credits or 90 quarter credits), have earned a transferable associate degree, and have successfully completed an equivalent to the following:
- A full year of General Chemistry, Calculus, and Calculus-based Physics
- If you have already taken a full year of Organic Chemistry, then your junior year will be devoted to completing Math and Physics requirements and you will need to take CHEM 3050 and CHEM 4985 in Fall semester. CHEM 3550 and 3560/3561 will replace Organic Chemistry in the Fall and Spring semesters
Important Major Information
- Minimum Credits to Graduate: 120 semester credits or 180 quarter credits
- Credits in Major: 48 semester credits or 95 quarter credits
- Minimum Major GPA: 2.0
- Minimum Cumulative GPA: 2.0

Curriculum Notes
- Assumes placement into CHEM 1350/1351 by 1 year of high school chemistry, college credit, or CHEM 1050. Students without sufficient prior chemistry should take CHEM 1050 before CHEM 1350/1351.
- Assumes placement into MATH 1344 by SAT/ACT, SU placement, or college credit.
- Pre-Health electives are recommendations or requirements for health programs (medical/dental/PA/pharmacy/etc.), that differ between programs, such as genetics, anatomy, statistics, and psychology. They should be selected in consultation with a Pre-Health Advisor.
