FAQs
- Is it possible to double major and still graduate in four years?
Yes. Highly motivated students often choose to complete the requirements for two majors. Students choosing to major in Industrial/Engineering Chemistry may wish to consider a second major in such fields as Physics, Mathematics, or Environmental Engineering. Students completing a double major will have an extra credential when looking for a job or when applying for graduate study; however, a double major is not a good idea for everyone. Often a better approach is to choose particular advanced courses as electives, matching one's own interests and abilities.
- Does the department accept AP credits toward the major?
The department recognizes the accomplishments of students who have AP credit in chemistry. Any student who scores a 3 in AP Chemistry will get credit for CHEM 101. Any student who scores a 5 in AP Chemistry will get credit for CHEM 100 and CHEM 131/133.
