Course Descriptions
Honor Societies and Student
Organizations:
The student affiliate
chapter of the American Chemical Society is a national award-winning
organization that involves students in social, professional, and service
activities at the university and in the community. The group plays an
important role in informing students of career options and opportunities.
All chemistry majors and minors are eligible for membership.
Careers in Chemistry today
can take many forms. To meet the needs of students and the society they
will serve, the Chemistry Department has developed four major emphases
under the guidance of the American Chemical Society (ACS). Broad
professional options are provided by the ACS and Liberal Arts majors which
allow entry into all fields of physical and life sciences. The Teaching
and Chemistry with Business Emphasis majors offer opportunities for some
specialization. Opportunities in biochemistry and molecular biology are
available in a comprehensive major provided by the Biology and Chemistry
Departments. The Chemistry major programs provide excellent preparation
for graduate study or immediate employment.
The Department of Chemistry
and the Comprehensive ACS Chemistry major (Code 100-006) are approved by
the American Chemical Society.

HONORS IN CHEMISTRY
Requirements: (1) Resident and total GPAs of 3.50 or higher for all
credits attempted and for chemistry major program credits. (2) Completion
of an Independent Study (Chem 399 or 499) project, under the direction of
a Chemistry Department faculty member, that results in a satisfactory oral
presentation of a paper at an undergraduate research symposium or ACS
meeting, or the satisfactory presentation of a written paper to the
Departmental Honors Committee. (3) Approval by the Departmental Honors
Committee.
Procedure:
(1) Application to the Departmental Honors Committee during the first
semester of the senior year. (2) Review by the Departmental Honors
Committee during both semesters of the senior year. (3) Names forwarded to

NOTE 1:
Department Policy on Control of Loss and Breakage. It is the intent of the
Department of Chemistry to provide monetary incentives for students to
maintain their work area in a responsible fashion. The cost assessed
students for loss or willful breakage will be the actual face value of
equipment or materials. Enrollment in a laboratory course requires a
security deposit to be paid at registration. Laboratory courses require a
special course fee as well.
NOTE 2: The
Chemistry Department requires a significant writing component in all
chemistry courses. Students will be graded on content and writing
mechanics. Students exhibiting writing difficulties will be advised to
seek remedial assistance through appropriate University programs.
