Students majoring in chemistry must satisfy the general requirements of the B.S. curriculum as well as the required courses in Chemistry.  Elective courses may be selected from the list of Chemistry courses above the 1000-level.  Alternatively, students may petition the Chemistry Department for approval of other (non-Chemistry) courses.  If the course is not from Chemistry, it must be a course where the methods or concepts are relevant to chemistry.  Students intending to pursue graduate work in chemistry or in an allied interdisciplinary graduate program are advised to select advanced chemistry courses, including 4010 and/or 4020. Close consultation with their department advisors will help to assure development of a program that can be recommended for graduate work.

The Department of Chemistry is fully accredited by the Committee on Professional Training of the American Chemical Society.

As an alternative to a traditional chemistry major, students can consider a major in Biological Chemistry (https://catalog.tulane.edu/science-engineering/biological-chemistry-program/biological-chemistry-major/). This program is certified by the American Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB).

Students majoring in chemistry must satisfy the general requirements of the B.S. curriculum.

Electives *
Select three or more elective courses from the Chemistry list of courses or with significant chemistry relevance.		9
Total Credit Hours		69

* In order to complete the major, three additional, three-credit courses from the list of Chemistry courses above the 1000-level are required.  Check with the Chemistry Department for approval of other (non-Chemistry) courses.  If the course is not from Chemistry, it must be a course where the methods or concepts are relevant to chemistry.  Many courses offered by Math or Physics and Engineering Physics would be appropriate, as well as some in departments such as Cell and Molecular Biology, Computer Science, and others.
