CH 33, 35, 36, 50, 114, 115, 116, plus two advanced electives.
Note that the physical chemistry courses (CH 114, 115, 116) have mathematics and physics prerequisites.
The Chemistry Department has revised its concentration requirements to create two additional tracks for the Sc.B. Chemistry Concentration – a Chemical Biology track and a Materials Chemistry track. These tracks are not separate concentrations – your degree will still be an Sc.B. in Chemistry. The Chemistry track is largely the same as the current Concentration requirements. The Chemical Biology track is designed for students who have a strong interest in the interface of chemistry with biology. The Materials Chemistry track is designed for students who have a strong interest in the interface of chemistry with nanoscience and materials science.
Concentrating in Chemistry – Three tracks
The required/recommended courses for the three tracks are given below.
In each of these cases, 97/98 should be carried out with a faculty member with an appointment in the Chemistry Department. Research with faculty advisors outside Chemistry may be allowed in some special cases. In this event, the student should a) prepare a proposal for the research to be carried out and b) identify a faculty member in the Chemistry Department who will serve as a second advisor and the second reader for the thesis. A thesis is required to be eligible for graduation with Honors.
