Required for the Interdisciplinary Major in the Natural Sciences in Chemistry and a Seconday Discipline

Chemistry students who have strong secondary interests in biology, physics, or geology, including pre-medical or pre-professional students, may construct a major involving chemistry and one of the other three natural sciences, using the interdisciplinary major in the natural sciences. The requirements for this major with chemistry as the primary discipline are:

  1. Introductory course sequences in chemistry, physics, and either biology or geology, chosen to include the discipline of secondary interest. The introductory sequences are:
    • Biology 110 and 120 or Biology 110 and 140
    • Chemistry 115 and 116 or Chemistry 119
    • Geology 110 and 210
    • Physics 150 and 160
  2. Intermediate/Advanced Requirement: At least ten six-unit courses in the sciences (biology, chemistry, geology, physics) numbered 200 or above, with at least five in chemistry and at least three in the secondary discipline.
  3. Six units of credit earned in Chemistry Seminar courses numbered 380, 480, and 680
