The School of Chemistry and Biochemistry offers, for non-chemistry majors, programs of study leading to certificates in three areas: biochemistry/organic chemistry, chemical analysis, and physical/inorganic chemistry. These certificate programs should be of interest to students considering careers in medicine or chemical-related industries, as well as those who wish to strengthen their background in areas of chemistry that are not required by their major.

Each certificate program requires a minimum of twelve hours in a coherent program with at least nine hours at the 3000 level or higher. These courses must be chosen from the list of courses in the given emphasis area and must be completed with a C or better. Courses required by the student's major may not be used in the certificate program. Courses which may be taken to satisfy the certificate requirements are as follows:

Biochemistry/Organic Chemistry Certificate:
1. Chem 2312, 2313, 2380, 3511, 4311, 4341, 4511, 4512, 4581
Chemical Analysis Certificate:
1. CHEM 2380, 3211, 3411, 3412, 4341, 4401
Physical/Inorganic Chemistry Certificate:
1. CHEM 2380, 3111, 3380, 3411, 3412, 3481, 4452
