Near the end of their sophomore year, students with a minimum grade point average of 3.000 in all courses and of 3.000 in chemistry may apply for election to the honors program. Before the junior year the student should have completed 210 and 212a, 220a–220b and 219a–219b, and the physics and mathematics prerequisite to 230. In the junior year the student takes 230, 231, 236, 237, and 292a (spring). In the senior year, the student takes 203 and 292b–292c. The student must complete 11 hours in the honors program. Chemistry 292a–292b–292c counts as 6 of these hours; the 5 remaining hours are satisfied by readings under the student’s research adviser during the junior year (291a–291b) or by 203 plus one graduate course (normally in the senior year). Honors candidates will be expected to take the Graduate Record Examination in Chemistry during the fall semester of their senior year. The student must present a thesis on the research done under 292a–292b–292c and pass an oral examination on it. Additional information may be found in the chapter on Special Programs in the College.
