Overview

The Bachelor of Science in Chemistry at University of Michigan is the most rigorous degree in pure chemistry offered by the department, and it should be the degree of choice for students who plan to pursue Ph.D. studies in one of the traditional sub-areas of the field (organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, and analytical chemistry) or students who plan to seek careers in the chemical industry.

Key Facts

The program leading to Honors in chemistry is available to qualified students.

In addition, there is a five-year joint degree program with the College of Engineering that leads to a B.S.-Chem. and a Bachelor of Science in Engineering (Chemical Engineering).

It is strongly recommended that students who are thinking of degrees in chemistry should arrange an appointment with a chemistry advisor via the online appointment scheduling system as soon as possible, preferably before the end of their freshman year but certainly before the end of their sophomore year.

A Bachelor of Science in Chemistry degree requires competentcy in each major area of knowledge and a deep understanding of chemistry. Each student is required also to achieve competency in the use of the English language, to acquire second-year college-level proficiency in a language other than English, to receive credit for an approved course addressing questions on race and ethnicity, and to fulfill the quantitative reasoning requirement. The B.S.-Chem. degree requires 60 credits of approved courses in the physical and natural sciences and/or mathematics.
