Chemistry Honors Program
The Chemistry Honors Program is an upper-level program designed to challenge students majoring in chemistry to excel in their course work, extend their program beyond the basic requirements of the major, and complete an independent research project including a written thesis. The Chemistry Honors Program rewards and recognizes students for so doing. Students are required to have a 3.5 GPA in chemistry and ancillary courses and a 3.2 GPA overall.
