Biology/Chemistry Double Major, BA

This option provides for a double major: a major in chemistry for students who also fulfill requirements for a BA in biology. A student who completes all requirements for the BA in biology at UCCS may also complete a BA in chemistry by finishing the following course work with grades of C or better. Cross-listed courses may not be double counted towards both majors. Cross-listed courses to be used for the chemistry major must be selected as CHEM courses.

Required Courses:

A Student Must Also Take Both:

Additional Requirements

In addition to the above requirements, students must select two additional 400 or 500 level courses from those listed below, keeping in mind that they cannot count CHEM 451, CHEM 481, or CHEM 483:

CHEM 531 - Advanced Organic Chemistry I
CHEM 532 - Advanced Organic Chemistry II
CHEM 482 - Biochemistry II (if Biochemistry 481 taken as BIOL 481)
CHEM 486 - Biochemistry Laboratory (prereq CHEM 480 or 481)
CHEM 517 - Electrochemistry (prereq. CHEM 452)
CHEM 940 - Independent Study in Chemistry
Up to 3 credits of CHEM 940 may be counted as an upper
level CHEM elective provided the 3 credit hours are accumulated
under the guidance of one faculty advisor, and that a
written project report is submitted and accepted.
CHEM 401 - Inorganic Chemistry I (prereq CHEM 450 or 451)
CHEM 402 - Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory (prereq. CHEM 401)
CHEM 418 - Analytical Chemistry II (prereq. CHEM 417 and PES 112)
CHEM 484 - Molecular Biology (prereq. BIOL 383)
CHEM 420 - Practical Instrumental Analysis (prereq. CHEM 417, 452, coreq. CHEM 418)
CHEM 405 - Topics in Chemistry

Note

Some Topics in Chemistry classes may be applied as an upper-level chemistry elective. Check with the department to confirm that a particular topic offering will count.
