Chemistry, BS - Environmental Chemistry Concentration 1 Chemistry, BS - Environmental Chemistry Concentration This concentration meets the requirements of the American Chemical Society for certification and is designed for students interested in the sources, transport, reactions, effects, and fates of chemicals in the atmospheric, soil, and aquatic environments. Chemistry: Environmental Chemistry Concentration, BS Requirements: Chemistry, Environmental Chemistry Concentration, BS degree requires 128 credit hours. 39 of 128 credit hours must be taken at 300 level or higher (39 credits includes courses taken at the 300+ level in major, minor (if chosen), Pre professional area and electives). 12 credit hours of 300 level and above must be taken in the major or 6 credit hours in the major and 6 credit hours in the minor (if chosen). 12 of the last 18 credit hours must be taken at UAH, with an overall 25% of coursework taken at UAH. Unless otherwise noted a C- or better is required for all College of Science prerequisite courses. No more than 6 credit hours from a two-year college can be applied toward a UAH degree.
