THE ACS PROGRAM
The Chemistry Department is authorized
by the American Chemical Society to grant certification to
those students who follow the plan of study given below at
the level of achievement described. The administration of
the ACS program is delegated to the Undergraduate Affairs
Committee which audits the record of each student and submits
the candidate's name to the ACS office for official certification.

Math 210 or 220
Math 211 or 221
* Physics:
Physics 131 and 132 (or 141 and 142; or 151 and 152) or
Physics 121, 122 and 123
STANDARDS
An average of 2.30 must be maintained in the chemistry courses
listed above. In computing the average, the following stipulations
apply:
Only two credits each for Chemistry 127(129)(137) and 128(130)(138)
are used. If a student takes a course more than once, the
highest grade is used in calculating the average. The best
six credits of advanced work is used with only three credits
of independent research (296,297,299) used in obtaining the
average value.
