Davies I he Department of Chemistry is approved and certified by the American Chemical Society (ACS). 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 pre-medical, pre-dental, 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.
