Chemistry Courses
Curricula in Chemistry
The curricula for the B.S. and B.A. degrees in Chemistry satisfy the requirements for certification by the American Chemical Society.
Careers which may be pursued with a degree in chemistry include science writing, environmental science, forensic chemistry, information and computer sciences, chemical business, and patent law. Some of these careers may require graduate study.
Core Requirements
CHEM 111, 112, L111, L112, 211, 212, L211, L212, 314, L314, 331, 375, L375, 411, 412, L411, L412, 423, 428, 429
MATH 165, 166, 265
PHYS 151, 152, L151, L152
Elective Requirements
Students choose additional depth of study in biochemistry, environmental chemistry, or advanced organic chemistry.
Choose from the following: CHEM 332 and CHEM L432; CHEM 355 and CHEM L355; or CHEM 390 and CHEM L390. Note: CHEM L432 is a three credit laboratory.
Curricula in Biochemistry
The program in Biochemistry draws from the disciplines of Chemistry and Biology. Since the areas of concentration are broadened and well-integrated, several career options are possible upon successful completion of the program. The program is recommended particularly for those planning careers in allied health areas, including graduate study in biochemistry, molecular biology, pharmacology or toxicology.
The curricula for the B.S. and B.A. degrees in Biochemistry satisfy the requirements for certification by the American Chemical Society.
