BS - Chemistry - Professional Track

  • College of Science and Mathematics
    Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry

    Chemistry, BS (Professional Track)

    Program Information:
    This degree is designed to prepare students for graduate school in chemistry or the professional workforce. Students completing this track receive a B.S. degree that is certified by the American Chemical Society. 

    This is a suggested 4-year schedule of courses based on the Chemistry - Professional Track degree requirements and course prerequisites in the Fall 2018 Undergraduate Catalog. (If course prerequisites change, you must meet the prerequisites in effect when you take the course, so always check the current Catalog for course prerequisites.) 

    Milestones/Notes:

    1. Must earn a grade of "C" or better in coursework.
    2. Not all courses are offered every semester.
    3. See KSU online Catalog or departmental website for pre-requisite(s) or course descriptions.
    4. This proposed schedule is not intended to reflect the availability of courses but is intended to demonstrate the feasibility of completing the degree by a full-time student in a standard four-year schedule.
    5. Students averaging less than 15.5 hours per semester should consider enrollment in the summer to stay on schedule for graduation.

Notes/Milestones:

  1. If MATH 1190, Calculus I, is recommended when you complete the KSU Math Placement Test, you should take MATH 1190 as it will greatly aid you in graduating on time.  If MATH 1113, Precalculus, is recommended when you complete the KSU Math Placement Test, you should take MATH 1113 and consider taking MATH 2202, Calculus II, during the summer session before your sophomore year to have continuity and keep you on schedule.
  2. Students who do not qualify to enter CHEM 1211 can now take CHEM 1210 to get prepared for CHEM 1211.

Milestones: All courses indicated as a Milestone with this icon ( ) should be completed in the term suggested to prevent delays in program completion.

Disclaimer: An academic map is a suggested four-year schedule of courses based on degree requirements in the KSU undergraduate catalog. This sample schedule serves as a general guideline to help build a full schedule each term. Some departments allow students to use the three credit first-year seminar course as a free elective for a degree program, which may impact the program's total credit hours. Milestones, courses, and special requirements necessary for timely progress to complete a major are designated to keep you on track to graduate in four years. Missing milestones could delay your program. Enrolled Students should reference DegreeWorks and not this plan.

This map is not a substitute for academic advisement—contact your advisor if you have any questions about scheduling or about your degree requirements. Also see the current undergraduate catalog (catalog.kennesaw.edu) for a complete list of requirements and electives. Note: Requirements are continually under revision, and there is no guarantee they will not be changed or revoked; contact the department and/or program area for current information.

You may choose to attend a summer term to reduce your load during fall or spring terms but still stay on track to graduate in four years.
