Introduction
Please click here to see Chemistry department information.
Students interested in the traditional chemistry major with the biochemistry emphasis should consult regularly with a chemistry advisor. A complete description of the program may be obtained in the Department of Chemistry office or department website.
Qualified majors are strongly urged to participate in independent study, American Chemical Society (ACS) certification, or departmental honors programs.
Students planning chemistry as a career should be familiar with the recommendations of the American Chemical Society for the professional training of chemists. For ACS certification, students following the biochemistry emphasis BS program required to take inorganic lecture (CHEM 3011), inorganic laboratory (CHEM 3018), and physical chemistry II laboratory (CHEM 4538) in addition to the curriculum outlined above. No course with a grade of less than C (2.0) can be applied toward ACS certification. Students should check with a chemistry advisor for details. CU Denver maintains an ACS chapter of student affiliates.
These degree requirements are subject to periodic revision by the academic department, and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences reserves the right to make exceptions and substitutions as judged necessary in individual cases. Therefore, the College strongly urges students to consult regularly with their major advisor and CLAS advisor to confirm the best plans of study before finalizing them.
