Ashby I he Department of Chemistry is approved and certified by the American Chemical Sodety (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 education licensure, a departmental minor, and a teaching minor are also available. A two-year chemical technidan program is also offered. This program, leading to an assodate of applied science degree or a certificate of skill profidency, is designed to emphasize skills required for employment as a technidan in chemical laboratories. Chemistry Major / Teaching Major bachelors degree (bs) » Program Prerequisite: Not required for Chemistry major. Chemistry Teaching majors must meet the Teacher Education admission and licensure 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.
