Chemistry Major II - BA


Major II offers three options. Option 1 is for students interested in the chemical industry. Option 2 is for students preparing for admission to medical, dental or veterinary schools or who are interested in the pharmaceutical industry. Option 3 is for students interested in biochemistry or bioinformatics. See details below.

Hunter Core Requirement


Several courses within this major may fulfill parts of the Hunter Core Requirement (CUNY Common Core Requirement [CCCR], Concurrent Requirements). When selecting courses, it may be to a student’s advantage to choose courses that count toward the Hunter Core Requirement and also advance the student on the path to the major. Details on the Hunter Core Requirement can be found here: Hunter Core Requirement  

In the case of the Chemistry Major II, the courses that meet CCCR are:

Courses CUNY Common Core Requirement
MATH 12500  Math & Quantitive Reasoning
CHEM 10200 (STEM)   Scientific World and Life and Physical Sciences
CHEM 10400 (STEM)   Scientific World and Life and Physical Sciences
CHEM 10600 (STEM)   Scientific World and Life and Physical Sciences
CHEM 11100 (STEM)   Scientific World and Life and Physical Sciences
CHEM 11200 (STEM)   Scientific World and Life and Physical Sciences
   
Please note that no more than two courses from any one department will count for the CUNY Common Core requirement.

Courses Required for the Chemistry Major II


Based on placement exams or transferred courses, students may place into some more advanced Mathematics and Statistics courses without taking Hunter College prerequisites. See the Mathematics and Statistics  department for details. Students who are exempt from MATH 10100  and MATH 12500 (STEM)  do not have to make up the credits.
