DEPARTMENT
OF CHEMISTRY
Chair: John P. Harrington (460-6181)
Professors: Harrington, Jackson, Ledford, Legendre
Associate Professors: Hoffman, Young
Assistant Professors: Campbell, Davis, Dorman, Wierzbicki
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.

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, the
courses are offered at the graduate level for those students who need such work.
