The General Chemistry major is intended for students who wish to
acquire considerable background in chemistry in preparation for careers
outside chemistry. It may be appropriate for students who plan careers
in environmental science, patent law, public health, teaching with an
emphasis on science, or other career paths.
The General Chemistry
major is NOT a shortcut to early graduation or a way to avoid the
intellectual challenge presented by upper division chemistry courses.
The General Chemistry major is usually NOT SUITABLE for students
interested in medical or related professional schools.
