The B.A. program in chemistry provides a framework of scientific courses which serves as a preparation for a number of interdisciplinary professions. The traditional B.S. curriculum has been modified in the B.A. program, most notably in mathematics, physics, and advanced chemistry. The program is sufficiently flexible to afford a wide selection of courses in the humanities. Science courses may be chosen to provide a preparation for professions such as medicine, dentistry, optometry, veterinary medicine, biochemistry, education, and law, as well as for employment in many other areas which require a background in science.
The B.S. program in chemistry is approved by the American Chemical Society for the training of professional chemists. Students in the B.S. program in chemistry are required to conduct an original research project. Satisfaction of this requirement normally begins with enrollment in CHM 495 and selection of a research professor and project during the second term of the junior year. The research project, conducted during the entire senior year, normally requires two work periods of three to four hours each a week. The project culminates in the final term of the senior year with enrollment in CHM 498, the submission of an acceptable thesis, and the presentation of a seminar in CHM 497. Additional research work to a maximum total of six semester hours may be elected provided that the work extends beyond two semesters. Cooperative education students may substitute work experience for research with the prior approval of the department chairperson.
The B.S. program in biochemistry follows a curriculum which satisfies the needs of students who anticipate careers in the life sciences. A mark of distinction and rigor is that each student is required to conduct research, which normally includes a ten-week summer period following their junior year and culminates with the submission of a research thesis and the presentation of a seminar.
A minor in chemistry consists of twenty semester hours.
