Notes:

• Students intending to enter primary or secondary school teaching should consult annually with the chairs of the departments of Chemistry and Education to facilitate scheduling of these curricula.

• Students intending to enter medical or dental school should consult with the Chair of the Chemistry Department and the Health Professions Advisor for appropriate modifications of this curriculum, which will include taking BIOL 1171 and BIOL 1172 in their first year in place of PHYS 1171 and PHYS 1172, which are then taken in the sophomore year.

• Students may elect to take CHEM 3324 Biochemistry I or CHEM 3341 Advanced Inorganic Chemistry in their junior year.

• Note that the CHEM 4970-series Research and Seminar is a research elective to be coordinated with individual faculty members. It may be taken for one, two, or three credits. Students enroll in CHEM 4971 for their first semester of research, CHEM 4972 for their second semester, etc.

• Students are encouraged to participate in summer research experiences on or off campus. At the discretion of the Chemistry Department, involvement in summer research such as National Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduate Programs may be counted toward the research requirement for American Chemical Society certification. Each case will be evaluated individually by the department.

• All research for credit will be consistent with the American Chemical Society Committee for Professional Training guidelines.

¹

May be taken either third or fourth year.

²

1-3 credits per semester. May be taken in fall, spring, or both semesters of the fourth year.
