This
program is designed as a preparation
for professional work in chemistry,
graduate work in pure or applied
chemistry, or as a core for pre-professional
training in the health sciences
or secondary education. Coupling
this program with an appropriate
minor allows students to enter related
sciences such as biochemistry, oceanography,
and the environmental or atmospheric
sciences.
The chemistry
core curriculum consists of coursework
in general, organic, analytical
and physical chemistry accompanied
by a significant laboratory component
plus study in either inorganic,
biochemistry or instrumentation
via limited electives. The remainder
of the program consists of career
supportive electives. The elective
courses offered, and their sequence,
depends on resources available and
student demand.
The ideal high
school preparation for a prospective
chemistry major includes chemistry,
physics and a minimum of three years
of mathematics. To enter the chemistry
program, students should test into
Mth 111 or higher.
