| 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: |
| 1. |
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 |
| 2. |
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. |
| Students pursuing a degree in Chemistry also must have minor in another discipline. |
|
| |
| REQUIREMENTS FOR A MAJOR

are encouraged to take the third semester of
physics (PH 303). |

| GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS
FOR CHEMISTRY MAJORS |
| Areas I, II, and III of
the General Education Requirements for Chemistry
are specified here (College of Arts and
Sciences section). Note that
Area IV requirements (Mathematics and Natural
Sciences) are fulfilled by the major requirements
specified above. |
| |
| REQUIREMENTS FOR A MINOR
IN CHEMISTRY |
| A minimum of 15 semester
hours in Chemistry beyond the Chemistry 132
or 141 course level is required. This minor
will consist of CH 201, 202, and 265. Students
are advised to consult with the Chair of the
Department of Chemistry. |
| |
| GRADUATE STUDIES |
| Although the Department
of Chemistry has no graduate degree programs,
courses are offered at the graduate level for
those students who need such work. |
