Miner, Spencer L. Seager, Garth L. Welch; Associate Professors, Helen J. James, Michael R. Slabaugh, H. Stephen Stoker. 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 Department of Chemistry offers two beginning sequences. Chemistry 111, 112, 113 is a series for students who will take chemistry for one year or less. 148 Natural Sciences Chemistry Chemistry 121, 122, 123 is the basic beginning sequence for students majoring in areas which require more than one year of chemistry. A maximum of 15 quarter hours in Chemistry 111-113 and 121-123 will be accepted toward fulfilling graduation requirements. BACCALAUREATE DEGREE REQUIREMENTS 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. The certification option meets all the requirements of the ACS and graduates' names are submitted to the ACS and certified by the department. The non-certified option does not meet the requirements of the ACS and is intended for students who do not plan to do graduate work in chemistry or seek employment as chemists. It is suitable for such students as pre-med, pre-dental, etc., who need a sound chemical background but will not be professional chemists. This non-certified program can be completed in two academic years after the completion of freshman chemistry. In addition, a teaching major leading to the bachelor of science degree in secondary education, a departmental minor and a teaching minor are also offered. Departmental Major (ACS Certified)Forty-seven quarter hours of chemistry in addition to Chemistry 121, 122, 123 are required, with specific courses as follows: Chemistry 213, 311, 312, 313, 341, 342, 343, 453, 454, 460, 480 (two hours minimum) and one course selected from the following: Chemistry 444, 446, 473 and 475; in addition, Mathematics 211, 212, 213 and 320 and Physics 261 through 266 are required. Fifteen hours of German or 9-15 hours of computer language or their equivalent is strongly recommended but not required. Additional courses in mathematics and physics are recommended for students who plan to do graduate work in physical chemistry. Departmental Major (Non-certified)The required chemistry courses are: Chemistry 121, 122, 123, 213, 311, 312, 313, 341, 342, 454 and at least two courses selected from the following: Chemistry 307, 343, 444, 446, 453, 460, 473 and 475; in addition, Mathematics 211, 212, 213 and 320 and either Physics 261 through 266 or 111 through 116 are required. Students desiring this major must plan their program with the Chemistry Department and get approval from the chairman before starting Chemistry 341. An overall average grade point of 2.0 or better in chemistry courses taken is required of all majors. Departmental MinorA minimum of 27 quarter hours with courses as follows: Chemistry 121, 122, 123, 311 and at least two courses selected from the following: Chemistry 213, 301, 305, 307, 312, 313. Chemistry Honors MajorA student desiring to complete the Chemistry Departmental Honors Program should: (1) maintain an overall GPA of 3.3; (2) be enrolled in the General Honors Program and complete at least 10 hours of General Honors courses; (3) fulfill the usual requirements of either (he ACS Certified or the Non-certified Departmental Major; (4) complete at least 18 hours of Chemistry Honors credit from among the following courses: Chemistry 121, 122, 123, 213, 307, 311, 312, 313, 341, 342, 343, 444, 446, 453, 454, 460, 471, 473, 475, 480, 499; (5) Complete a Chemistry Honors Senior Project (minimum of 2 credit hours of Chemistry 480). The credit received for Chemistry 480 may be counted as part of the required 18 hours of Chemistry Honors credit. The student desiring Chemistry Honors credit should obtain permission from the Chemistry Department Chairman at the time of registration, and should make a written agreement with the course instructor regarding the work expected for Chemistry Honors credit. Teaching MajorThe teaching major consists of a minimum of 44 quarter hours of chemistry with courses as follows: Chemistry 121, 122, 123, 213, 311, 312, 341 and at least three additional courses selected from the following: Chemistry 307, 313, 342, 343, 453, 454, 460; in addition, Mathematics 211, 212, 213, 320 and Physics 261 through 266. 149 |
