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. 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.

Continuation & Enrollment Courses: Prior to the start of the first spring quarter following entrance into the ChemE major, students must complete CHEM 162, PHYS 122, MATH 207. Students must complete CHEM 237, CHEM 238, PHYS 123, MATH 208, CHEM E 310 CHEM E 375 or equivalents prior to the start of the following autumn quarter.
