Undergraduate Admissions
It starts with admission to UofL. To declare a chemistry or biochemistry major, you’ll finish CHEM 202 (or an equivalent transfer course) with a C or better. No portfolio, no audition, no separate departmental application. Once that prerequisite is done, you’re in, and your advisor will help you map your path from general chemistry to your degree.

Affordability Matters
UofL's Cardinal Commitment Grant narrows the gap between scholarships/financial aid and the cost of attendance. Students who receive a Pell Grant, CAP Grant and KEES will have 100% of their tuition covered. Other awards range from $2,000 to $7,000. Pursue your creative dreams without the worry of mounting college debt.
Transfer Students
The Department of Chemistry welcomes transfer students! We evaluate transfer credit on an individual basis and work with you to determine how your previous coursework applies and where you’ll be placed.
