The American Chemical Society certifies the IU Northwest ACS Chemistry degree. Graduates of this program will be recommended to the American Chemical Society as having fulfilled requirements of the ACS Committee on Professional Training. The B.S. degree emphasizes science and mathematics courses as major requirements outside of the major required core. An honors sequence is available for the B.S. degree. The Honors Track requires (1) Research, (2) Minimum Chemistry GPA 3.4 and (3) a senior thesis. Consult the department for further detail.  

CHEM-C 105, general chemistry, is the introductory chemistry course for science majors. This course has two prerequisites: (1) passing the chemistry placement exam, (2) MATH-M 117 (Intermediate Algebra) with a grade of C or better. Students not meeting these prerequisites will need to take CHEM-C 103 (Principles of Chemistry) and pass it with a grade of C or better or complete the appropriate ALEKS preparatory course before enrolling in CHEM-C 105.
