UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES
The chemistry curriculum is designed for students seeking a
liberal education as well as for those students requiring more specialized training and
skills. The courses provide the foundation necessary for those planning careers as
chemists and biochemists following graduation, for students planning to further their
education through advanced degrees in chemistry, biochemistry, related sciences, and for
those in other professional fields. Two basic curricula are offered for chemistry majors:
- the American Chemical Society certified degree program in
Chemistry is available for those students seeking technical positions in chemistry, as
well as for those planning to attend graduate school, or
- a Biochemistry Option track is available for students
strongly interested in the interface of chemistry and biomedical or biological sciences,
especially for students anticipating going to graduate school in medical sciences,
biochemistry, biophysics, or other life sciences.

Electives: In
addition to these courses above, a student must choose one other 400 level chemistry
course to satisfy the degree program requirements.
Mathematics: Two semesters of
Calculus (MA 125, 126)
Physics: Two semesters
of Calculus based Physics (PH 201, 202). Students planning to attend
graduate school interested in either physical chemistry or analytical
chemistry are encouraged to take the third semester of physics (PH
303).
