The Undergraduate Four-Year Plan of Study is a resource undergraduates can use to help select the appropriate courses, and is listed with the course number, credit count, and the quarter the course is offered. This is a sample that shows how students might plan courses to ensure meeting all admissions and graduation requirements on time. 

Courses listed in bold are required for admission to the program. Courses listed in italics are recommended to take before admission, since they must be complete before the first autumn quarter after ChemE 310. The required CHEM E courses are offered only in the quarters listed. If you have any questions about your plans, please contact a departmental advisor. For course names, please see our curriculum page.

Year One

*The Honors sections of these courses can be substituted. Additionally, students can take the accelerated CHEM series (CHEM 143 and 153) in lieu of the full general chemistry series and the accelerated organic chemistry series (CHEM 223 and 224) in lieu of CHEM 237 and 238. 

***Students may use CHEM E 455 or CHEM E 460 to satisfy the the Molecular and Nano Engineering requirement. CHEM E 460 is offered spring quarters only and CHEM E 455 is offered autumn and spring quarter.  

****Students participating in a special design or capstone can replace CHEM E 486 with the credits from that option.
