Objectives
The Chemistry Program offers an academic major and a teaching major leading
to the Bachelor of Science Degree. In addition, the program offers an
academic and a teaching minor in chemistry. The program provides (1) preparation
for a professional career or graduate study in chemistry; (2) an understanding
of basic chemistry concepts and experience in laboratory operations for
those planning careers in related fields; (3) pre-professional study for
those preparing for careers in medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine,
and nursing; and (4) for those who wish to teach at the secondary level.
Program Requirements
Students must maintain a cumulative 2.3 GPA or better in courses required
in the academic and teaching majors. Students choosing a double major
or minor within the science program may not apply electives to more than
one major or minor. Only classes listed under "required courses"
that coincide between both majors/minors may be applied to both.
For course prerequisites, please refer to the course description.
