Notes for BA Degree
Note 1. English Composition
Depending on placement in the English Proficiency Test,
one of the following sequences must be taken:
A. English 100, 101, and 102
B. English 101 and 102 (or 107 and 108)
C. English 103H and 104H; (or with AP credit, ENGL
109H)
Note 2. Second Language
Students who do not demonstrate fourth-semester proficiency
in a second language upon entrance will be required to complete up to four
courses in a second language. This coursework would be best
completed in first two years and would reduce the number of electives needed.
The College of Science accepts any language for this requirement. The
Department of Chemistry suggests German for a professional degree. Premed
students majoring in chemistry frequently satisfy this requirement by taking
Spanish. Please refer to the University General Catalog
http://catalog.arizona.edu/2007%2D08/policies/secondlang.htm for further
details regarding the foreign language requirements for this program.
Note 3. Diversity Emphasis Course
One course
from Tier I or Tier II must serve as a diversity emphasis requirement; or a
unique course may be
selected. See catalog or schedule of classes for list of approved courses to
satisfy these requirements.

Note 4. First and Second Year Courses
Chemistry majors who have taken high school chemistry and
physics and are enrolled in Math 124 in their first semester are strongly
encouraged to take Chem 105&106 rather than Chem 151. Chem 105 (lecture)
and Chem 106 (lab) are honors courses for well prepared students. Chem 242 &
244 are the corresponding second year honors organic chemistry courses. These
classes are small, faculty contact is extensive, and laboratory projects are
individualized and challenging. If there is a scheduling problem, preventing
the student from completing CHEM 246/247, the student may enroll in Chem 241/243
instead with an advisor’s approval.
Note 5. Mid Career Writing Assessment
Students must complete the Mid-Career Writing Assessment (MCWA)
requirement, which consists of obtaining a grade of "B" or better in second
semester English Composition (ENGL 102, 104H/109H, or 108), prior to graduation.
Students receiving an unsatisfactory grade must consult their major advisor for
guidance on how to meet this requirement.
Note 6. Course Offerings
Please note that certain courses are offered only once a
year in the semester shown in the UA Catalog. It is therefore imperative
that the prerequisite or co-requisite courses be scheduled and completed prior
to the semester these classes are offered. Failure to do this may result
in delay of graduation.
Note 7. Upper-Division Unit Requirement
Students must have earned a minimum of 42 upper-division
units (300-499 level) within their major, general education requirements, or
electives to be eligible for graduation. Consider taking Tier 2 courses as
upper-division toward this requirement.
No minor is required for this program.
