Description
Location(s): Main Campus Close Student Success Advisor(s) Sample Degree Plan Program Learning Outcomes CIP Code: 13.1323 Program Information All courses must be passed with a C (2.0) or better to be counted in the major. All prerequisite courses must be passed with C (2.0) or better. Chemistry Education students are required to complete a teaching minor in one of the physical sciences or mathematics. This will increase their marketability when they enter the teaching profession. This degree does not include the requisite number of upper-division credit hours. Students completing this degree will fill the upper-division requirement with their minor requirements and/or their Secondary Education Licensure coursework. All Chemistry majors must successfully complete an exit exam before graduation. Credits greater than 10 years old will not be accepted in this major. Some courses are taught every other year. Consult your advisor for scheduling help. This program requires the completion of MATH 1050 - College Algebra or MATH 1210 - Calculus I . Students who are not prepared for this math course may need additional math credits/preparation, which may affect time to graduation. Please consult your Student Success Advisor for more information.
