This degree is approved for distance education by the WSCUC.
This option is designed primarily for those interested in careers that involve the chemistry of materials and the study of materials in relation to their applications. It is particularly appropriate for those seeking employment in private industry or government service as well as those students contemplating graduate work in these fields. This option requires approximately 81-87 units in the major, of which 40-44 units are in lower division and 41-43 are in upper division.
All students must achieve at least a 2.0 grade-point average in each of the following: 1. the entire college record, 2. all units attempted at CSULB, 3. all courses in the major, and 4. all upper division courses in the major completed at CSULB.

Degree Progress
BS Chemistry majors must complete the following requirements within the specified time of declaring the major. Some students may need to take courses during Summer Session to meet these requirements. Students who have not met the requirements by the required semester must either declare another major or meet with an Academic Advisor to determine if the student’s performance in the courses merits an additional semester to complete.
A grade “C” or better must be achieved in the following courses within one calendar year.
A grade of “C” or better must be achieved in the following courses within two calendar years.
Transfer Students:
A grade of “C” or better must be achieved in the following courses within 1 calendar year. Note(s):
In addition, all BS Chemistry majors must earn a “C” or better in all courses counting toward the major and must maintain major and upper-division major GPAs of 2.0 or higher. A student whose GPA in the major or upper division GPA in the major falls below 2.0 will be advised that they are at risk of being dismissed from the major and granted one semester to raise their major GPA(s) to 2.0. Students who do not successfully raise their major GPA(s) must meet with an advisor to declare another major or submit an appeal to the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry explaining why they need one additional semester. Students whose major GPAs remain below 2.0 after this additional semester must declare a new major. Either take all of the following:
Note(s):
BIOL 111, 111L, BIOL 212 , BIOL 212L are required if courses were taken prior to catalog year 2010-11. Take all of the following:
