Graduation Requirements Summary

  1. Regardless of individual course grades, students must maintain a minimum 2.000 cumulative GPA.
  2. Some colleges require a minimum GPA for major courses. Courses indicated in this column are included in the major GPA for this program of study.
  3. Students who do not place into MATH 1 41 will be required to successfully complete MATH 115 before taking MATH 141.
  4. CHEM 111 and 111L may be taken in place of CHEM 141 , and CHEM 112 and 112L may be taken in place of CHEM 142.
  5. Students in the College of Arts and Sciences are required to demonstrate proficiency in one foreign language equivalent to the 122 course through course credit or the corresponding foreign language placement score.
  6. The Carolina Core provides the common core of knowledge, skill and academic experience for all Carolina undergraduate students.
  7. CHEM 333L and CHEM 334L are also accepted in place of CHEM 331L and CHEM 332L, respectively.
  8. The College of Arts and Sciences requires one U.S. History and one non-U.S. History course, both of which must be chosen from the approved Carolina Core GHS courses. Whichever is not fulfilled through the Carolina Core GHS requirement must be fulfilled through this college requirement.
  9. If CHEM 111, 112, 322, and 322L are all completed at USC, STAT 201 is not required. Also, if CHEM 621 and 621L are completed, STAT 201 is not required. Students who exempt STAT 201 through this process will be required to take an approved elective to reach minimum hours for graduation.
  10. Students are encouraged to start undergraduate research as early as possible to allow for participation in long-term projects. No more than 3 hours of research (BIOL 399 or CHEM 496) can be used to satisfy the elective requirement. Extramural Research opportunities, such as REU’s may qualify for CHEM 496 credit; however, a request form must be submitted and preapproved by the Department of Chemistry.
  11. The Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Major requires electives only if needed to meet 128 credit hours. No courses of a remedial, developmental, skill-acquiring, or vocational nature may apply as credit toward degrees in the College of Arts and Sciences. The College of Arts and Sciences allows the use of the Pass-Fail option on elective courses. Further clarification on inapplicable courses can be obtained from the College of Arts and Sciences. Program Notes:
    • ENGL 101 and ENGL 102 must be completed in the student’s first 60 semester hours of work in order for these courses to be credited toward graduation.
    • All undergraduate students must take a 3-credit course or its equivalent with a passing grade that covers the founding documents. This course may fulfill any requirement in the program of study. Courses that meet this requirement are listed in the academic bulletin.
    • Any Chemistry or Biochemistry and Molecular Biology major can qualify for ACS certification by taking additional courses as listed: CHEM 511, CHEM 621, CHEM 621L, CHEM 550 or CHEM 555, and 6 credits of undergraduate research, CHEM 496-499.
    • Biochemistry and Molecular Biology majors may enroll in a biology or chemistry course a maximum of twice to earn the required grade of C or higher.
    • A Biochemistry and Molecular Biology major must receive a grade of C or higher in any major, college, or program requirement course in order for it to serve as the required prerequisite for any higher-level course.
    • The last 30 credit hours toward your degree must be earned in residence at the University of South Carolina-Columbia. University Requirements: Bachelor’s degree-seeking students must meet Carolina Core (general education) requirements. For more information regarding these requirements, please visit the Carolina Core page on the University website.
