Integrated Baccalaureate and Master's Degree Program
Chemistry - 2009/2010
Admission and Academic Requirements
Please refer to the Chemistry graduate program section for information including departmental contact information, a list of graduate faculty members, program description, and course descriptions.
Requirements for Enrollment
Admission into an integrated program in Chemistry requires a minimum of an overall GPA and a major GPA of 3.25. Applicants must submit official transcripts, three faculty letters of recommendation, and a statement of purpose and career goals.
Integrated Degree Program Description
Students in the integrated program are allowed to use six semester hours of B-level accountancy classes to satisfy both the Bachelor of Business degree and the Master of Accountancy degree. However, because 150 semester hours are required to sit for the CPA exam, students are required to complete a total of 150 hours for the integrated baccalaureate and master’s degree program.
