## Bachelor of Science as Recommended by the Department of Chemical Engineering
Students planning to follow this curriculum must submit a statement of goals and a coherent program of subjects no later than the spring term of their junior year.
### General Institute Requirements (GIRs)
The General Institute Requirements include a Communication Requirement that is integrated into both the HASS Requirement and the requirements of each major; see details below.
| Summary of Subject Requirements | Subjects |
