*See lower on this page for a path through the major that does not start with calculus. The chemistry major requires math through Calculus II (MATH 132), but students who intend to pursue graduate work are encouraged to take additional math courses, for example Linear Algebra (MATH 228), Calculus III (MATH 231), and/or Differential Equations (MATH 234).
