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.

DEPARTMENTAL
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 the University Honors
Program Director and Registrar at least five weeks prior to commencement.
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.
