Students who wish to qualify for any American Chemical Society certification option must complete the Traditional Chemistry Program, include specified upper-level courses, and complete 4 credits of research courses in 50:115 or 50:160:450 or above. Five certification options are offered: chemistry, chemical physics, materials, polymers, and biochemistry. In the Chemistry Option, 50:160:413 must be included among two 400-level, 3- or 4-credit courses. In the Chemical Physics Option, 50: 750:232 and one other 200 level or higher physics course, plus at least 6 credits from advanced theoretical chemistry, advanced physics, or advanced mathematics must be completed. In the Materials Option, 50:160:413, 437, 438 must be completed. In the Polymers Option, 50:160:413, 444, 446 must be completed. For those chemistry students interested in biological chemistry, there is the Biochemistry Option in which 50:115: 403,404, 407,408, and 50:160:413 must be completed.
