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: - Any science course, with a laboratory, other than CHM or PHY
Elective Courses for Chemistry Majors with Inclusive Adolescence Education
Four credits of upper division chemistry electives are required. Two credits of laboratory are required in order to obtain American Chemical Society 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. Foreign Language Requirement
- Students must complete three credits in a Modern Foreign Language.
