Chemistry Teaching (BS) Program Prerequisite: Not required for Chemistry major. Chemistry Teaching majors must meet the Teacher Education admission and licensure requirements (see Department of Teacher Education). Minor: Not required for Options I and II; required for Teaching Major. Grade Requirements: Average GPA of 2.00 or better in Chemistry courses. Also refer to the general grade requirements for graduation on Degree and General Education Requirements. Credit Hour Requirements: A total of 120 credit hours is required for graduation; 75 of these are required within Option 1,71 are required within Option 2, and 43 are required within the teaching major, plus the credits required by the Teacher Education department. A total of 40 upper division credit hours (in courses numbered 3000 and above) is required for all Chemistry majors to fulfill University graduation requirements; 37 of these are earned from required courses within Option 1 and 33 from required courses within Option 2. Advisement All Chemistry majors should meet with the Chemistry Department Chair at least annually for course and program advisement. Call 801-626-6952 for information and to arrange an appointment.
