< College of Liberal Arts and SciencesChemistry
Students may pursue chemistry by following either the specialized curriculum in chemistry (leading to the Bachelor of Science in Chemistry), or one of two options in the Sciences and Letters Curriculum (leading to the Bachelor of Science in Liberal Arts and Sciences). The department also sponsors a minor in chemistry and a teacher education minor in chemistry. These programs of study are administered by the Department of Chemistry.
The chemistry option in the Sciences and Letters Curriculum is used by some students planning chemistry careers, but it is more often chosen by students wishing to obtain chemistry backgrounds for use in related fields. In contrast, the specialized curriculum in chemistry is a rigorous, specialized program suitable for those planning careers in chemistry. It meets standards prescribed by the American Chemical Society.
Cooperative Education Program: Students accepted into the School of Chemical Sciences Cooperative Education Program spend alternate periods of attendance at the University with periods of employment in industry or government. Transcript recognition is given as well as a certificate of participation at graduation. Additional information and applications are available in the School of Chemical Sciences placement and advising office.

Chemistry Teaching Option
This option is designed to prepare the student to teach physical science with a major in chemistry and a second teaching field in physics or mathematics. A student must have at least 2.5 cumulative and University of Illinois grade point averages to remain in the teaching option. A student must also maintain at least a 2.0 grade point average in all attempts at science and mathematics courses taken at the University of Illinois in order to remain in the teaching option.
A student must elect a second teaching field in either mathematics or physics.Completion of the second teaching field involves completing all requirements for the teacher education minor in that field.

Major in Specialized Curriculum in Chemistry
The typical program of courses required to satisfy this degree totals 128-134 hours; in no case will a program totaling less than 120 hours qualify for graduation. Graduation requires grade point averages of at least 2.0 overall and 2.0 in chemistry, mathematics, and physics courses. The Department of Chemistry will supply, upon request, a brochure showing recommended semester-by-semester programs for the completion of the curriculum.
