DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY Chair: Spencer L. Seager Location: Science Lab, Room 502M Telephone: 626-6952 Professors: Robert Beishline, E. Park Guymon, Helen J. James, Bryant A. Miner, Spencer L. Seager, Michael R. Slabaugh, Robert B. Smith, H. Stephen Stoker, Garth L. Welch. Associate Professor: Edward B. Walker. Assistant Professor: Barry A. Lloyd. Description 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 pre-med, pre-dental, etc., who need a sound chemical background Option 2 can be completed in two academic years after the completion of freshman chemistry. A teaching major leading to the Bachelor of Science degree in Secondary Education, 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. Education 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. Chem 111, 112, 113 is a series for students who will take chemistry for one year or less. Chem 121, 122, 123 is the beginning sequence for students majoring in areas which require more than one year of chemistry. A maximum of 15 quarter hours in Chem 111-113 and 121-123 will be accepted toward fulfilling graduation requirements.
