University Admissions
Admission to the University of South Florida is based on the Undergraduate Admission Requirements found by clicking on the following URLs:
State Mandated Common Course Prerequisites - Science Education B.A./B.S., with Chemistry Concentration
Following Florida BOG Regulation 8.010, state mandated common course prerequisites are lower-division courses that are required for progression into the upper division of a particular baccalaureate degree program.
Transfer students should complete the State Mandated Common Course Prerequisites at the lower level prior to entering the university. If these courses are not taken at a Florida College System institution, they must be completed before the degree is granted. Successful completion of the common prerequisites alone does not guarantee a student admission into the degree program.
Unless stated otherwise, a grade of C- is the minimum acceptable grade in prerequisite courses.
- EDF X005 Introduction to Education and Field Experience – 3 credits
- MAC X311 Calculus I - 4 credit hours
- [(CHM X045 and CHM X045L) and (CHM X046 and CHM X046L) - 8 total credit hours
