Total Credit Hours Required represents the minimum credits needed to complete this program, and may vary based on a number of circumstances. This should not be used for financial aid purposes.
Academic Requirements
To progress to the graduate portion of the program, students must maintain a 3.000 GPA, earn a “C” grade or higher in content courses (courses in the undergraduate major); earn a “B-” or better in all education coursework (courses that begin with CEP, ELP, and LAI), and complete an interview in the Office of Educator Preparation. Students must complete these progression points by March of year three of the bachelor’s program to be eligible to register for graduate level coursework. No formal application is required for graduate school.
Transfer Credit Policy
Transfer students must complete a minimum of 8 credit hours of UB Chemistry department courses to receive the B.A. degree.
Program Distinction
A student in this major is eligible for Program Distinction upon degree conferral if the criteria are met. Criteria are found under Academic Honors in the Policy and Procedure section of this Catalog. Program Distinction is noted on the official transcript. Curricular Plan
A Curricular Plan provides a roadmap for completing this academic program and the UB Curriculum on time. Your actual plan may vary depending on point of entry to the university, course placement and/or waivers based on standardized test scores, earned alternative credit and/or college transfer credit.

Learning Outcomes
Students in the combined program will complete the same learning outcomes as for the Chemistry BA degree. In addition, graduates of the Chemistry Education EdM program will:
- Demonstrate foundational knowledge in the traditional sub-divisions of the science (organic, inorganic, analytical, and physical chemistry) and in the application of this knowledge.
- Understand the ethical, historic, philosophical, and environmental dimensions of problems and issues facing chemists.
- Are able to use modern instrumentation and classical laboratory techniques.
- Are able to design and conduct scientific experiments for the purpose of solving a scientific problem and to record and analyze the results.
- Know the proper procedures and regulations for safe handling and use of chemicals and can follow the proper procedures and regulations for chemical waste disposal.
- Are able to identify and solve chemical problems and explore new areas of research.
- Are able to apply their chemistry training in inter-disciplinary problem solving with specialists in other areas of science and technology.
- Are able to communicate the results of their work to other chemists.
