2* Students who have completed three high school credits in one foreign language or two high school credits in each of two
languages are exempt from the foreign language requirement. American Sign Language will be accepted in place of a foreign
language. Any student who graduated high school prior to June 1986 is also exempt from this requirement. Non-native
speakers of English who were required to meet University TOEFL requirements are also exempt from this requirement.
For information on available majors and approved minors, please refer to the university catalog.
A minimum of 120 hours and a 2.00 GPA in the major, minor, and overall are required for graduation. In addition all
undergraduate students are required to complete the Senior Assessment Survey ( ) and the Exit
Examination of Writing Proficiency ( ) prior to the intended graduation date.
Departmental Requirements
CHEM 121N-123N is the freshman chemistry sequence, and is prerequisite to ALL other chemistry courses.
AP credit may be assigned for CHEM 121N-123N providing a qualifying score is received on the Advanced Placement of the
College Board exam in Chemistry. A score of 3 provides CHEM 121N-122N credit, and a score of 4 or 5 provides credit for
CHEM 121N-123N.
Most chemistry courses have other CHEM courses as well as MATH courses as prerequisites (courses that must be completed
prior to beginning a particular course) or corequisites (courses that must be completed concurrently with a particular course).
For this reason a CHEM or BIOCHEM major should register for a CHEM and MATH course every semester until the
requirements are complete. The following is a list of the prerequisites for each required CHEM course, as well as when each
course is typically offered, so that you can plan your schedule accordingly. All chemistry courses require a minimum grade of
“C” in the prerequisite course(s). Prerequisite waivers are not allowed. Questions concerning prerequisites should be
addressed to the instructor of record for the course, or Dr. Pinky McCoy (pmccoy@odu.edu, 757-683-4103).
