The Bachelor of Science program in chemistry with inclusive adolescence education prepares students for the initial certification requirements of the New York State Department of Education for Adolescence Education. All Inclusive Adolescence Education students are required to have a cumulative GPA of 2.7 or higher in order to advance into Junior-level education coursework.
Student Learning Outcomes
Students will be able to
- Recognize and apply the fundamental scientific concepts in the core American Chemical Society areas of Chemistry (analytical, biochemistry, inorganic, organic, and physical) that explain chemical behavior at the atomic, molecular, and macroscopic levels.
- Conduct scientific inquiry and design experiments using scientific literature.
- Safely implement experiments applying appropriate psychomotor skills and techniques.
- Draw conclusions based on quantitative, qualitative, or scientific analysis of data/evidence within the context of the methodological design, while recognizing the limits of this data/evidence and analysis.
- Evaluate and communicate scientific information through both written and oral forms to scientific and lay audiences.
- Apply principles of scientific ethics and academic integrity to ethical issues, inclusion, and respect in science within a diverse, global society.
- Recognize how students learn chemistry and apply pedagogical knowledge specific to chemistry teaching and learning. (CHED specific).

Core Curriculum Requirements
All Nazareth students complete Core Curriculum coursework as part of their degree requirements. The Core provides a foundation in the liberal arts and sciences while guiding students to pose and explore their own intellectual questions. See Academic Policies and Procedures for specific core curriculum requirements. Chemistry Core
All students majoring in a program of the Department of Chemistry take the following courses: Required Courses for Chemistry Majors with Inclusive Adolescence Education
In addition to the 55 credit core listed above, all Chemistry majors with Inclusive Adolescence Education are required to take the following: Chemistry Senior Experience
These courses seek to integrate the technical aspects of chemistry with the ability to communicate scientific information effectively. To achieve this goal, students are assigned a topic of current scientific interest that combines chemistry with other disciplines in order to answer some fundamental question. Students demonstrate their ability to independently research and communicate their findings in a professional manner to an audience of their peers and faculty.
