Bachelor of Science in Chemistry Roadmap – Quantitative Reasoning Category I/II and ENG 114

ENG 114 can only be taken if you complete Directed Self-Placement (DSP) and select ENG 114; if you choose ENG 104/ENG 105 through DSP you will satisfy A2 upon successful completion of ENG 105 in the second semester; multilingual students may be advised into alternative English courses.

To determine the best B4 course option, students should complete the online advising activity at mathadvising.sfsu.edu. Questions? Contact Gator Smart Start.

To avoid taking additional units, it is recommended that you meet the SF State Studies (AERM, GP, ES, SJ) requirements within your GE or major.

Area B1 (Physical Science) is satisfied upon completion of CHEM 233.

Area B3 (Laboratory Science) is satisfied upon completion of CHEM 234.

CHEM 338 may be substituted for CHEM 336.

Students may substitute CHEM 343 for CHEM 426 or CHEM 451 upon prior approval of advisor. If CHEM 343 is used as a substitute, it can not also be used as an elective.
