Chemistry. 104A, 104B, 120A, 120B, and the upper division Chemistry laboratory requirement as follows:
- For Fall 2026 admits and later: one Physical Chemistry Lab (105, 125, or C182) and one Synthetic Chemistry Lab (108, 115, or 146)
- For Fall 2025 admits and earlier: 125 (or C182) and one of the following choices: 105, 108, 115, or 146
- You may opt into the lab requirements for Fall 2026 admits and later (above), please notify your staff adviser.
- Students who did not take Chem 4B (regardless of admit term), are required to take Chem 105 and Chem 125 (or C182).
A grade of C- or higher is required in Chemistry 120A and 120B if taken before 125 or C182.
12 Units of Upper Division Chemistry and Allied Subjects. In addition to the requirements listed above, the following must be completed to total at least 12 units:
- One additional lecture course (or laboratory/lecture course) in chemistry as approved by your staff adviser. Graduate-level chemistry courses (numbered 200+) may be used to satisfy the chemistry elective requirement, including courses that are 1 unit.
- Additional courses in chemistry and/or related fields from the list of Allied Subject Courses
Advanced Placement, Advanced Level, and International Baccalaureate credit cannot be applied to this requirement.
No more than 4 units of research (such as 192, H194, and/or 196) may be used to satisfy requirements.
If a course is used to satisfy another requirement (such as the Synthetic Chemistry Lab (105, 115, or 146)) the course cannot also be used to satisfy the Upper Division Chemistry and Allied Subjects requirement.
This program may be used to specialize in a particular area of chemistry, such as inorganic, nuclear, organic, etc. The program may also be used to develop an understanding in other fields of interest that either require a strong background in chemistry or are relevant to the chemical sciences, such as biochemistry, chemical physics, mathematics, chemical engineering, geochemistry, materials science, atmospheric chemistry, environmental science, etc.
