Seager, Michael Slabaugh, H. Stephen Stoker, Edward Walker; Associate Professors: Charles Davidson, Todd M. Johnson; Assistant Professors: H. Laine Berghout, Don R. Davies, J. Andreas Lippert, Michelle More I he Department of Chemistry is approved and certified by the American Chemical Society. Two options are offered which lead to the bachelor of arts or bachelor of science degree in Chemistry. Option 1 meets all the requirements of the ACS and the graduates' names are submitted to the ACS and certified by the department. Option 2 does not meet the requirements of the ACS, but provides a good foundation in chemistry. It is suitable for such students as premedical, predental, etc., who need a sound chemical background. A teaching major leading to the bachelor of science degree with a secondary teaching certification, a departmental minor, and a teaching minor are also available. A two-year chemical technician program is also offered. This program, leading to an associate of applied science degree or a certificate of skill proficiency, is designed to emphasize skills required for employment as a technician in chemical laboratories. Chemistry Major /Teaching Major BACHELOR DEGREE (B.S.) » Program Prerequisite: Not required for Chemistry major. Chemistry Teaching majors must meet the Teacher Education admission and certification requirements (see Teacher Education Department). » Minor: Not required for Options I and II; required for Teaching Major. » Grade Requirements: Average GPA of 2.00 or better in Chemistry courses. Also refer to the general grade requirements for graduation on page 36. Teaching majors must achieve an overall GPA of 3.00 for admission to the Teacher Education program and have a "C" or better in chemistry courses. » Credit Hour Requirements: A total of 120 credit hours is required for graduation - 71 of these are required within Option 1, 66 are required within Option 2, and 41 are required within the teaching major. A total of 33 upper division credit hours is required for Options 1 and Option 2 (courses numbered 3000 and above) - 29 of these are required within Option 1 and 24 within Option 2. A total of 40 upper division credit hours is required for the teaching major. Advisement It is recommended that a student consult with a chemistry advisor annually. Call 801-626-6952 for information and to arrange an appointment. Admission Requirements Declare your program of study (see page 18).
