MajorThe chemistry department offers a chemistry concentration certified by the American Chemical Society (ACS) and a traditional concentration. In addition, an interdisciplinary biochemistry major is available. ACS Concentration (63 credits)This concentration is especially appropriate for those students intending to pursue graduate work in chemistry and related fields, and for those seeking immediate employment in chemical industry or government laboratories. Required Courses:CHEM 123, 234, 235, 236, 320, 333, 334, 335, 336, 341 and BCHM 321, plus two credits of laboratory research (351, 398); PHYS 191, 200; MATH 119, 120, and either 124 or 239. Traditional Concentration (50 credits)This concentration is intended for those who have a strong interest in chemistry, but are not necessarily planning to continue their study of chemistry at the graduate level. It can be recommended for those planning careers in any of the medical fields, secondary education, patent law, government service, environmental science, as well as management-level positions in the chemical industry. Required Courses:123, 234, 235, 236, 320, 333 or 334, 335, one credit of research (350, 351, 398) and two additional courses selected from 333, 334, 336, 338, 341, BCHM 321; MATH 119, 120; PHYS 191, 200 (preferred) or PHYS 105, 106.
