339 DEPARTMENT Chemistry Chain Dr. Barry Lloyd Location: Sdence Lab, Room 502M Telephone Contact: Margaret Read 801-626-6952 Professors: Laine Berghout, Charles Davidson, Todd Johnson, Andreas Lippert, Barry Lloyd, Michelle More, Spencer Seager, Stephen Stoker, Edward Walker; Associate Professor: Don Davies; Assistant Professor: Timothy Herzog 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 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 provides a good foundation in chemistry that is suitable for Pre-Medical, Pre-Dental, Pre-Pharmacy and other Pre-Medical Professional students who need a sound chemical background. The Chemistry Teaching Major leads to a Bachelor of Science Degree with secondary education licensure. A Chemistry Minor and a Chemistry Teaching Minor are also available. The two-year Chemical Technidan Program, leading to an Associate of Applied Sdence Degree or a Certificate of Skill Proficiency, is designed to emphasize skills required for employment as a technician 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. Also refer to the general grade requirements for graduation on page 38. » Credit Hour Requirements: A total of 120 credit hours is required for graduation; 75 of these are required within Option 1, 71 are required within Option 2, and 43 are required within the teaching major, plus the credits required by the Teacher Education department. A total of 40 upper division credit hours (in courses numbered 3000 and above) is required for all Chemistry majors to fulfill University graduation requirements; 37 of these are earned from required courses within Option 1 and 33 from required courses within Option 2. Advisement All Chemistry majors should meet with the Chemistry Department Chair at least annually for course and program advisement. Call 801-626-6952 for information and to arrange an appointment. Admission Requirements Dedare your program of study (see page 18). There are no spedal admission or application requirements for the Chemistry major. Teaching majors must meet the Teacher Education admission and licensure requirements (see Teacher Education Department).
