The Chemistry Bachelor of Science degree is accredited by the American Chemical Society (ACS). This means that the degree is nationally recognized as being of high quality suitable for employment in any type of chemical industry. Employers look at applicants that have ACS accredited chemistry degrees first.
Below is the catalog description of the degree program. You may also wish to look at the suggested course sequence. Click the links for descriptions of each course.

Notes
- A minimum of 120 semester hours is required for graduation (48 hours must be upper level).
- All prerequisites, major, minor, foreign language (if applicable), foreign culture and Gordon Rule courses require grades of "C" or higher.
- Third repeats of attempted courses, including W, WP, WF, F and courses in which passing grades were earned, will be assessed excess hour surcharges. Exceptions include courses approved to repeat academic credit (students should consult their academic advisor.
- Students must pass or meet exemption criteria for all sections of the CLAST exam prior to earning an AA and completing 60 semester hours.
- Students who started at a state university prior to earning 60 semester hours must satisfy the 9 hour summer requirement before being approved for graduation.
- All students must apply to graduate during registration for the last semester of courses at UNF. Deadlines are published in the course schedule booklet.
- An approved dual/concurrent enrollment form is required prior to registering for courses at another institution.
- Students may not enroll at another institution during their last semester at UNF. Graduation will most likely be delayed for students who do attempt dual/concurrent enrollment in their last semester.
