21 credits of electives from BCH 486, 490; BIOB 301, 375, 410, 411, 425, 440, 486, 490; BIOH 345, 360, 365, 370, 405, 462; BIOM  361, 400, 410, 411, 427, 428, 435; PHAR 347, 421, 422; CHMY 371, 397, 402, 403, 442, 465, 466, 490, 494, 498.

No more than 3 credits combined of BIOB 490, CHMY 490, 498 or BCH 490 and no more than 3 credits of CHMY 397/494 (Peer Leading for CHMY141/143) may be counted toward the 21 credit elective requirement.

For Group I of the General Education requirements (English Writing Skills), all students must complete WRIT 101, a lower division writing course, and an upper division writing course. CHMY 302E is the formal requirement to satisfy the upper division requirement in this option. It can also be satisfied by taking the following combinations of required and elective courses: BCH 482 or BIOB 410 (1/3 of requirement) and BCH 486, BIOB 411 or BIOM 410 (2/3 of requirement).

Group II of the General Education requirement (Mathematics) is fulfilled by M 162. The Foreign Language/Symbolic Systems requirement (Group III of the General Education Requirement) is fulfilled by M 162.

All students must complete 27 credit hours from groups IV to XI of the General Education requirement to graduate (CHMY 141N-143N counts as the 6 credit group XI requirement; If CHMY 302E is taken to satisfy the upper division writing requirement, it also satisfies the group VIII requirement). One of these courses should be an approved lower division writing course.

Credits to Graduate:
Required courses: 78
Elective courses: 21
General education: 18
WRIT 101: 3
Total: 120

Groups IV to VII, IX, and X account for 18 credit hours.
