Notes
Core classes listed are sample options; the order of these could be interchanged
Chemistry department will consider waiving the CH 395 Research Project in place of an Introduction to Engineering Analysis course (to be developed) or other applied chemistry elective relevant to the student’s future major (e.g. Materials Science for Engineers, to be developed)
Chemistry Major courses that will count toward RPI degree:
CH 332/334 Physical Chemistry II = CHEM-4420 Microscopic Physical Chemistry
CH 351/353 Instrumental Analysis = CHEM-4530 Modern Techniques in Chemistry
