About the Program
The chemistry B.S. secondary education program leads to a New York State Initial Certificate for teaching both chemistry and general science in grades 7–12. Students seeking admission to the B.S. chemistry program should initially enroll in the B.A. chemistry program. After successfully completing at least two required chemistry courses at Buffalo State with a GPA in these courses of 2.75 or higher, students apply for admission to the B.S. chemistry program during the semester they complete SED 200. A minimum GPA of 2.75 in chemistry courses is required for admission to SED 405, SED 407, and SED 408.
courses equivalent to CHE 201, CHE 202, CHE 203, CHE 204, CHE 301, MAT 126, PHY 107, PHY 108, and CRJ 101 to avoid possible delays in the completion of the degree program.

Through the agreement no 02 of 1998, the Supreme Council adopted the Plan of Undergraduate Studies Program in Industrial Chemistry, Faculty of Technology and with the agreement No 10 of February 16, 2000 issued the administrative act to ratify the agreement before. In this agreement the Board of Governors choose to offer the program as a cycle of professional Chemical Technologists.
The program of industrial chemicals, coded ICFES No.111146600006600111100 of July 22, 1999, provides a range of undergraduate college and five years, attendance and mixed, according to data from the National Institutions of Higher Education (SNIES).
OBJECTIVES OF THE PROGRAM
To train professionals
This sequence includes the chemistry courses required for the ACS (American Chemical Society) Approved Bachelor of Science Degree. Research experience is highly recommended, including CHE 290, which has been designed as an introductory research experience for sophomore students. A total of two upper-level electives (this would include research) are required with completion of CHE 301/445/496. At least one elective in chemistry must include laboratory exercises. Completion of University Requirements and 21-22 elective credits completes the minimum of 122 credits for the degree.
