Introduction
The program of the Department of Chemistry conforms to
the standards prescribed by the American Chemical Society.
The Department of Chemistry assigns prospective chemistry
majors to faculty advisors and all undergraduate students
planning to major in chemistry are encouraged to take advantage
of this advisement program.
NOTE: The policy of the Department of Chemistry
regarding enrollment under the pass/fail (CR/NC)
grade option is that CR (credit) will be given only for
grades of C or better.
The University has mandated that all graduating seniors take
part in an outcomes assessment program designed by their
major departments. In Chemistry, this involves taking one or
more of the American Chemical Society area assessment
examinations and also discussing your educational experiences
in the department in an individual exit interview. All
graduating seniors are required to take part in this program.
Major Study Requirements
The Bachelor of Arts degree requires a minimum of 28 credit
hours earned in chemistry courses beyond CHEM 121L
or its approved equivalent. The B.A. must also include the
UNM CATALOG 2006–2007 Symbols, page 611.
