A grade of "C" or above in a prerequisite course is required for enrollment in an advanced course in chemistry. The chemistry and biochemistry majors are encouraged to take additional courses (e.g. Advanced Organic Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, the second semester of Physical Chemistry for biochemistry majors) beyond the required courses specified above.
All chemistry and biochemistry majors must pass a general written comprehensive examination. The examination consists of questions in general chemistry, analytical chemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry and biochemistry. All questions on the exam are based upon prior coursework. A study guide and sample questions are available from the department. Students can earn a pass with distinction, pass, low pass or failure. Students normally take the comprehensive exam at the beginning of the spring semester in their senior year.
Students completing a B.S. degree in chemistry have the option of beginning coursework toward a Master of Science (M.S.) in Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) or a Master of Engineering (M. ENGR) in MSE by taking graduate level courses at The University of Texas at Arlington (UTA). This collaborative 4+1 program is designed to allow UD chemistry majors to earn their B.S. in chemistry and M.S. degree in five years. Chemistry majors can complete up to 6 credit hours of approved courses in materials science at UTA that can be applied to their B.S. degree in chemistry at UD and their MSE degree at UTA. Students can begin taking courses at UTA during their senior year at UD or in summer terms. After completing the 6 credits, additional courses can be taken toward the M.S. or M. ENGR, but these are not required by the B.S. program in chemistry at UD. Completion of the UTA graduate degree programs is optional and failure to complete does not void the upper level credits earned toward the B.S. degree.
Students interested in these programs must apply to the UTA Materials Science and Engineering graduate program and meet the requirements for admission.
42 credit hours as required for B.S. in Chemistry, of which 6 hours can be approved materials science courses taken at UTA.
