*CHEM 461/463 is offered only in the Fall semester of even-numbered years.CHEM 366/368 is only offered in the Spring semester and should be taken in the spring of the sophomore year for students needing to take CHEM 461/463 in their junior fall

**HUM/SSCI electives should be selected in close consultation with the academic advisor to ensure sustainability-related courses are chosen

¹Project must be related to Green Chemistry

²An Environmental Ethics or Sustainability focused Values Seminar is highly recommended
