 Return to: ACADEMIC PROGRAMS A-Z
The Bachelor of Science program in chemistry follows the curriculum established by the Committee on Professional Training of the American Chemical Society. Within the context of a liberal arts background, students are prepared in chemistry for graduate study or for immediate employment in industrial positions. Along with the chemistry major, students may select a minor in such fields as professional communication (helpful for a career in scientific writing), mathematics, information technology, or business/management to enhance opportunities in the business world.
Student Learning Outcomes

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: Elective Courses for Chemistry Majors
Students must complete a total of 12 credits of advanced coursework at the 300-400 level, selecting from this list of possible courses. Students with significant summer research experience may use this to satisfy some upper division requirements subject to department chair approval. Chemistry Senior Experience
This course seeks 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. |
