To Remain a Chemistry Major
Students must maintain a 2.00 GPR overall and in chemistry courses. First year students must have received credit for either Math 151 (4) or 171(4) and Math 152 (4) or 172(4) with C's or better in both courses by the end of the first calendar year after enrollment at A&M. Students who have completed only Math 151(4) or 171(4) by the end of the first calendar year may remain in the program if they earned a B or better in one Math 151(4) or 171(4) and are enrolled for Math 152(4) or 172(4) in the following semester.
To Change Your Major into Chemistry at Any Time
Students must have fewer than 90 overall attempted hours and no instances of academic misconduct.
- Must have a 2.50 GPA at the time of application
- Complete CHEM 119 with B or better (or 2.5 average if CHEM 119 & 120 completed at A&M)
- Complete MATH 151 with a B or better (alternate courses: MATH 171) (or 2.5 average if MATH151 & 152 completed at TAMU)
- If student has AP or transfer credit for CHEM119 and/or CHEM120 student must complete a CHEM course at TAMU before applying with at least a 2.5 TAMU CHEM GPA
- If student has AP or transfer credit for MATH151 and/or MATH152 student must complete a MATH course at TAMU that applies toward intended degree requirements with at least a 2.5 TAMU MATH GPA, unless the requirements for intended degree are completed
- Grades earned in chemistry or math courses transferred from other institutions must be B or better.
To Seek A Double Major or Double Degree in Chemistry
Students must have fewer than 90 attempted + transfer hours
Students must have an overall GPR of 3.0 or better, at least a 3.0 in chemistry and math courses, and have completed CHEM 119(4) and CHEM 120(4) or equivalent and MATH 151(4) or MATH 171(4) before this paperwork may be initiated.
To Transfer into Chemistry from another Institution
Applicants should complete 24 hours, but must have fewer than 90, with a cumulative GPR of at least 3.00. CHEM119 and CHEM120 equivalents must be competed with Bs or better. In addition, 8 hours of science and engineering level Calculus I and II must be completed with Bs or better.
