A student majoring in the Division of Mathematics and Physical Science must take certain specified tests in addition to the general ACT tests required for admission to the college. See Chemistry Aptitude Test, page 172; Mathematics Pre-Test, page 191; Engineering entrance requirements, page 178. Department of Chemistry Professors Alva J. Johanson, Head; Ralph S. Gray; 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, some life science programs, and certain engineering fields. 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 sciences, chemical, metallurgical, geological, and electrical engineering, the life sciences, 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 credits by some engineering schools to satisfy the chemistry requirements for the civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering programs. Placement Test—All students who plan to take 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 Student Personnel Office, to take the aptitude test before registration. Major Requirements—The Department of Chemistry offers a major in chemistry leading to the B.A. or B.S. degree, 172 and also a secondary teaching major leading to the B.S. degree in education. A maximum of fifteen quarter hours in elementary chemistry (Chemistry 11, 12, 13, 24, 25, 26) will be accepted toward fulfilling graduation requirements. Departmental Major—The requirements for the departmental major, as described below, have been changed considerably from those of previous years. Recognizing the value of departmental accreditation by the American Chemical Society and the possibility of achieving this accreditation in the near future, the chemistry curriculum has been extensively revised to meet accreditation requirements and to generally improve the content and status of the chemistry degree. Freshmen and sophomores entering in the Autumn of 1966, and later, will follow this new curriculum. Juniors and seniors (in 1966) will continue to fill the requirements of the former curriculum (see the 1965-66 college catalog). Transfer students and students who have been out of school one or more years, will need to 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. Teaching Major—The teaching major consists of a minimum of forty quarter hours of chemistry with courses as follows: Chemistry 24, 25, 26, 51, 131, 132, 133, 141 and at least one additional course selected from the following: Chemistry 107, 142, 151, 181-182; in addition mathematics through calculus, and Physics 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66. Departmental Minor—A minimum of twenty-eight 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 Minor—A minimum of twenty-eight quarter hours with courses as follows: Chemistry 24, 25, 26, 51, 131, 132.
