Students must complete at least 21 upper division credits at Chapman University to earn a
degree in Chemistry. Transferability of credits from other institutions will be determined at the
discretion of the program director.
Students with sufficient high school background or appropriate AP, IB test scores may waive
Chem 140 and/or Math 110 and/or Phys 101.
Note: Not all medical schools accept AP credits. All pre-medicine students should work closely
with the pre-medicine advisor to select appropriate coursework.
