The Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology offers
the Associate of Science in Chemistry degree, the Bachelor
of Arts in Chemistry degree, the Bachelor of Science
in Chemistry degree, and the Bachelor of Science
in Chemistry degree with a Biochemistry option.
An undergraduate minor in Chemistry also is offered.
All degrees carry the general requirements of the IUPUI
School of Science. The Bachelor of Science degrees carry
certification by the American Chemical Society Committee
on Professional Training.
To enter the undergraduate curriculum in chemistry, a
student should have completed a minimum of two years of
algebra, one semester of trigonometry, one year each of
chemistry and physics, and two years of a modern foreign
language. The choice of a particular degree program in
chemistry and the selection of courses for that degree
are made in consultation with a departmental advisor.
