Objective
The Undergraduate Honors Program at NTU's Department of Chemistry encourages undergraduate students above sophomore year to concentrate on advanced and specialized coursework. With a focus on fostering innovative capabilities and research involvement, the degree aims to cultivate students' growth. Adhering to NTU's guidelines outlined in the Operating Procedure of Implementing Undergraduate Honors Programs, specific regulations have been formulated for this Undergraduate Honors Program (Mandarin link). Applications are open starting from the Fall 2024 semester.

Upon approval by the committee, successful applicants will be admitted to the program.
Program Requirement
All courses in this Undergraduate Honors Program are offered by the Department of Chemistry. Students must complete the following courses totaling at least 20 credits:
