Chemistry (B.A.) Leading to Biomedical Engineering (B.S.) at UMass Dartmouth
Students majoring in chemistry complete a minimum of 120 credits to earn a bachelor's degree. While enrolled at Salve Regina University, students complete 43 credits of core courses and 61–62 credits of major courses. Up to 30 credits are completed after transfer to UMass Dartmouth. Before conferral of the B.A. in Chemistry from Salve Regina University, the student must request that UMass Dartmouth forward transcripts to verify completion of all required coursework. See Engineering Dual Degree for more information.
