Arts, Letters and Science Department of Chemistry Alva J. Johanson, Chairman Professors, Ralph S. Gray, Alva J. Johanson; Associate Professor, Spencer L. Seager; Assistant Professors, Robert R. Beishline, Ervin P. Guymon, Bryant A. Miner, Garth L. Welch. The Chemistry curriculum provides a sound foundation in both the facts and principles of chemistry. Physics and mathematics are emphasized since these subjects are essential to an adequate understanding of chemistry. The required courses in English and the elective areas insure study in nontechnical subjects and thus broaden the student's general education, enabling him to relate his study of chemistry to other fields of knowledge. The Department of Chemistry offers three beginning courses or sequences. Chemistry 11, 12, 13 is a series of elementary courses for students who will take chemistry for one year or less, including students of agriculture, forestry, and some of the life science curricula. Chemistry 11 followed by Chemistry 13 is a sequence intended primarily for students of family life. Chemistry 24, 25, and 26 is the basic beginning sequence for students majoring in the physical and life sciences, engineering, the teaching of science, pre-medical, pre- dental, and pre-pharmacy students, and all others who will take more than one year of chemistry. Civil and mechanical engineering students take Chemistry 24 and 25 only. Chemistry 11 and 12 are acceptable as transfer courses by some engineering schools to satisfy the chemistry requirements for the civil, electrical and mechanical engineering programs. A maximum of fifteen quarter hours in elementary chemistry (Chemistry 11, 12, 13, 24, 25, 26) will be accepted toward fulfilling graduation requirements. Placement Test—All students who plan to enroll in Chemistry 24 are required to take a chemistry aptitude test. The results of this test will be used to help determine the^student's ability and his probable success in the study of chemistry. Students who make unsatisfactory scores on the aptitude test will not be permitted to register for Chemistry 24 until they have completed the preparatory course—Chemistry 001. It is the student's responsibility to make arrangements at the College Counseling and Testing Center to take the aptitude test before registration. 108 Arts, Letters and Science Baccalaureate Degree Requirements The Department of Chemistry offers a major in chemistry leading to the B.A. or B.S. degree and a teaching major leading to the B.S. degree in secondary education. A departmental minor and a teaching minor are also offered. Departmental Major—In 1966 the curriculum for the departmental major was extensively revised. The credit-hour requirements were increased, new courses were added and the content and quality of the curriculum were improved and enriched. Freshmen, sophomores and juniors enrolling in the Autumn of 1967 and later will follow this new curriculum. Seniors in 1967-68 will continue to fill the requirements of the former curriculum (see the 1965-66 catalog). Transfer students and students who have been out of school one or more years should check the requirements carefully with their advisors. Fifty quarter hours of chemistry, beyond Chemistry 24, 25, and 26 are required, with specific courses as follows: Chemistry 51, 131, 132, 134, 141, 142, 143, 151, 152, 171, 181, 197 (two hours minimum) and one course selected from the following: Chemistry 161, 162, 173, 174; in addition mathematics through Calculus, and Physics 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66. A reading knowledge of German is required. Additional courses in mathematics and physics are recommended for students who plan to do graduate work in physical chemistry. An overall average of C grade in courses taken in chemistry is required of all majors. Departmental Minor—A minimum of twenty-seven quarter hours with courses as follows: Chemistry 24, 25, 26, 131, 132, and at least one course selected from the following: Chemistry 51, 107, 133. Teaching Major—The teaching major consists of a minimum of forty-four quarter hours of chemistry with courses as follows: Chemistry 24, 25, 26, 51, 131, 132, 133, 141 and at least two additional courses selected from the following: Chemistry 107, 142, 151, 181-182; in addition mathematics through calculus, and physics 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66. Teaching Minor—A minimum of twenty-eight quarter hours with courses as follows: Chemistry 24, 25, 26, 51, 131, 132.
