Computational Chemistry Major

The following information about programs of study in Chemistry has been taken from the University Calendar. While every attempt has been made to ensure that it is accurate, you should refer to the current edition of the University Calendar for the most reliable and complete information about program requirements and course list.

Students wishing to Major in Computational Chemistry should consult those sections of the Calendar dealing with Regulations for the General Degree of Bachelor of Science.
