Department of Chemistry Department Chair: Laine Berghout Location: Science Lab, Room 502M Telephone Contact: Colleen Boam 801-626-6952 Professors: Laine Berghout, Charles Davidson, Todd M. Johnson, Andreas Lippert, Barry A Lloyd, Michelle Paustenbaugh, Spencer Seager, Stephen Stoker, Edward Walker; Associate Professor: Don Davies; Assistant Professor: Timothy Herzog The Department of Chemistry is approved and certified by the American Chemical Society (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 graduate's 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, P re-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 Technician 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. Physical Science Composite Teaching Major See the Department of Physics section in this catalog for program requirements. Chemical Technician (AAS) • Grade Requirements: Minimum overall GPA of 2.00 or "C". • Credit Hour Requirements: A total of 63 credit hours are required for graduation; 35 of these are required within the program. Advisement It is recommended that a student consult with a chemistry advisor annually. Call 801-626-6952 for information and to arrange an appointment.
