All students are required to take a departmentally administered assessment examination before graduation.
Scores from this examination will not be included in the calculation of GPA for academic standing. The
performance on this exam will be noted on the student’s transcript.
PIRATE TIPS
1. Some majors require specific foundations curriculum courses. Check catalog for appropriate courses.
2. Certain honors & interdisciplinary courses may also be used to satisfy foundations curriculum requirements. Refer
to the undergraduate catalog for appropriate courses for your major.
3. Hours for MATH 0001, MATH 0045, READ 1032, READ 1033, and READ 1034 do not count toward graduation.
4. The BA program provides a flexible major designed to provide the student with a broad education in chemistry
appropriate for further study in a wide range of fields, such as business, medicine, pharmacy, and law as well as
careers dependent on a basic knowledge in chemistry
5. Chemistry Majors are required to earn a minimum grade of C in each of the following courses:
CHEM 1150, 1151, 1160, 1161, and MATH 1065.
REMINDERS
At least 30 hours must be taken at ECU and at least ½ major hours (core/cognate) must be taken at ECU.
You must have 12 hours of WI (writing intensive) courses—with at least 3 hours in the major.
TOTAL HOURS for Graduation: 126 hours
