258 DEPARTMENT Chemistry Chair: Dr. E. Park Guymon Location: Science Lab, Room 502M Telephone Contact: Chris Jolley 801-626-6952 Professors: E. Park Guymon, Helen J. James, Barry A. Lloyd, Bryant A. Miner, Spencer L. Seager, Michael R. Slabaugh, H. Stephen Stoker, Edward Walker; Associate Professor: Todd M. Johnson; Assistant Professor: Charles Davidson, Pamela J. Stenberg The 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 DEPARTMENTAL HONORS » Program Prerequisite: Enroll in the General Honors Program and complete 9 hours of General Honors courses (see the Interdisciplinary Programs section of this catalog). » Grade Requirements: Maintain an overall GPA of 3.3. »Credit Hour Requirements: Fulfill requirements for either Option 1 or Option 2 of the departmental major, of which at least 12 hours must be completed on an Honors basis. A student may receive Chemistry Honors credit in the following courses:* Chem Chem Chem Chem Chem Chem Chem Chem Chem Chem Chem Chem Chem PS1210-1220 Principles of Chemistry 10 2310-2320 Organic Chemistry 10 3030 Quantitative Analysis 3 3050 Instrumental Analysis 4 3070-3080 Biochemistry 7 3090 Biochemical Techniques 1 3410-3420 Physical Chemistry 8 4540 Spectrometric & Separation Mthds 4 4600 Inorganic Chemistry 4 4700 Special Topics in Chemistry 1 4710 Chemical Preparations 1-3 4800 Research & Independent Study 1-5 4990 Senior Seminar 1 In addition, complete a Chemistry Honors Senior Project in Chem 4800 for a minimum of 2 hours (credit received in Chem 4800 may count as part of the required 12 hours). 'Permission from the department chair should be sought before registering in a course for Honors credit. A written agreement should be reached with the appropriate professor regarding the work expected for Honors credit. (See the Interdisciplinary Programs section of this catalog.) This written contract must include regularly scheduled sessions with the professor. In addition, students will be required to complete a project associated with the course. Projects for each chemistry course (other than Chem 4800) will generally require about 10 hours of productive effort. For Chem 4800, each credit hour will generally require about 45 hours of productive effort as well as a formal written report. The following are suggestions for the type of project but other may be agreed upon by the student and the professor: 1. The Honors student will do extra reading or a literature search and write a paper. 2. The Honors student will perform additional laboratory experiments and write a paper. 3. The Honors student will perform a research project and write a report. 4. The Honors student will present an oral report to a class or other appropriate group. Chemistry MINOR 8.
