Department of Chemistry
Postbaccalaureate is a matriculated status, reserved for students who are working toward a second bachelor's
degree, or preparing for entrance to graduate or professional school. Only a small number of applicants are admitted every quarter as postbaccalaureate (fifth-year students) because the University's primary commitment is to undergraduates who are completing their first bachelor's degree. The undergraduate chemistry and biochemistry programs are open majors and do not require an additional application. If you are admitted as a Post Bac student you may declare chemistry or biochemistry as your major area of study.
