Students must also complete the 7-course breadth requirement from the Haas School of Business, as well as the Reading and Composition requirement (R1A and R1B) in order to apply for admission into the Haas School of Business.
Students must complete 1 Chemistry elective course, 12 units (~3-4 classes) of Allied Subject electives, and 8-9 units (~ 3 classes) of Upper Division UGBA (Undergraduate Business Administration) electives.
Students must complete one course from the following list:
Allied Subjects are upper division elective courses offered by the chemistry department or other departments that are strongly related to chemistry. Students need to complete a total of 12 units of Elective + Allied Subjects courses, equating to 3-4 classes. Students who perform research for units (through CHEM H194 or CHEM 196) can have up to 4 research units count towards this total. The following are courses that satisfy the Allied Subject requirement for the major:
The following is an unexhaustive list of the courses students can take to fulfill the elective requirement:
The Department of Chemistry also offers a Materials Chemistry Concentration for chemistry majors. In order to obtain a concentration in materials chemistry, students are required to take an analytical lab (CHEM 105, 125, or C182) and a synthetic lab (CHEM 108 or 115) for their laboratory requirement, and CHEM C150 for the elective requirement. For their allied subject courses, students are asked to take a total of 10 units (~3 courses) from the following list:
Students should declare Chemistry in the College of Chemistry as soon as possible. Then, once the required courses for admission into the Haas School of Business have been completed, students will apply to the Haas School of Business the spring semester prior to their anticipated start in the school. For more information, visit the Application Process page for the Haas School of Busines.
Unfortunately, because the Chemistry + Business simultaneous degree is relatively new, there is no current data on the career trajectories of those who obtain the degree. Those who are interested in the major are encouraged to look at the 2018 Career survey for Chemistry Majors and Undergraduate Business Adminsttration Majors, individually.
