NOTES:
1 Incoming freshmen must enroll and complete requirements of UNIV 1010 and the corresponding school-related freshman seminar course. Students, including transfer students, who complete their core curriculum at UT Dallas must take UNIV 2020.
2 Curriculum Requirements can be fulfilled by other approved courses from accredited institutions of higher education. The courses listed are recommended as the most efficient way to satisfy both Core Curriculum and Major Requirements at UT Dallas.
3 A required Major course that also fulfills Core Curriculum requirements. If semester credit hours are counted in the Core Curriculum, students must complete additional coursework to meet the minimum requirement for graduation. Course selection assistance is available from the undergraduate advisor.
4 Three semester credit hours of Calculus are counted to fulfill the Mathematics Core Requirement with the remaining five semester credit hours to be counted under Component Area Option Core.
5 Six semester credit hours of Chemistry are counted under Science core, and one semester of Physics (PHYS 2125) are counted under Component Area Option core.
6 Indicates a prerequisite class to be completed before enrolling for upper-division classes.

8 These core curriculum courses can be substituted with any allowed core curriculum course for the appropriate category
9 The MATH 2413, 2414, 2415 calculus sequence can be replaced with the MATH 2417, 2419, 2451 sequence
10 CHEM 3361 and BIOL 3161 can be replaced with CHEM 4335
11 CHEM 3322 can be replaced with CHEM 3341
Be sure to check prerequisites of Level 2 courses

7 Research in Chemistry (CHEM 4V91), Research and Advanced Writing in Chemistry (CHEM 4390), and Research and Advanced Writing in Chemistry for Honors Students (CHEM 4399) are better defined as a project than a course and constitute an important part of the BS degree. The student conducts original research under the supervision of a faculty member, and then must submit a research report which is defended orally. Normally this project will span two or more semesters. A complete set of guidelines is available from the undergraduate advisor.
8 These core curriculum courses can be substituted with any allowed core curriculum course for the appropriate category
9 The MATH 2413, MATH 2414, and MATH 2415 calculus sequence can be replaced with the MATH 2417, MATH 2419, and MATH 2451 sequence
10 Students who complete PHYS 2421 do not need to complete PHYS 2125.
