Bachelor of Arts Requirements for the Major

Two semesters of calculus, and an option of Calculus III or Computer and Information Sciences C071; General Chemistry I, II with labs; Organic Chemistry I, II with labs; calculus-based physics I, II; the following advanced chemistry courses: 0215, 0217, 0231, 0232, and a choice of W237 or W314 (capstone writing course).  If Chemistry W237 is chosen, an additional course in chemistry numbered 0301 or above is required.  If Chemistry W314 is chosen, an additional course is required, chosen from a list of chemistry, biology, physics, geology, and mathematics courses.

7Advanced Science Courses for B.A. students consist of Chemistry 0283 or 0293 (only one of these may be counted as an advanced science course), and all other Chemistry courses numbered 0301 and above;  Biology 0203, W204, 0234, 0265, and above;  Physics 0183, 0184, 0187, 0188, 0201, 0202, 0211, 0221, 0231, and above;  Geology 0200 and above;  Math 0147, W205, 0233, 0247, and above.
8Although neither Chemistry W237 nor Chemistry W314 is required as part of the B.A. degree program, at least one of the two must be taken in order to satisfy the Core requirement for a capstone writing intensive course in the major. If Chemistry W237 is selected, it may also count as the B.A. student’s Advanced Science course; if Chemistry W314 is selected, it may count either as the B.A. student’s Advanced Chemistry or as the Advanced Science course.
