****Student teaching is full time for a semester. No other courses may be taken. Student teaching usually occurs in the spring of the senior year. Attempts should be made to complete other courses prior to this semester.

Marker Courses: Four Gl/GN; Two SI (one in major); Four WI (one in major, one >300 level)         

FOOTNOTES FOR B.A. CHEMISTRY STUDY PLAN

1. All B.A. majors must complete mathematics* at least through MAT 292 Calculus II. Depending upon the individual mathematics background, some students may start with MAT 150 rather than MAT 151 and extend the sequence of math courses by one semester. Others may start with MAT 191. Majors are strongly advised to elect additional advanced mathematics courses. *(Math Placement Exam required. See the Mathematics section of the Academic Guide for New Students.)

2. German is especially useful for a chemist, but any foreign language may be selected. If the student is able to begin at the intermediate level in the Freshman Year, a second year of language may not be required.

3. The sequence listed here for meeting the General Education and College Additional Requirements (identified by capital letters in parentheses) is a suggestion only and may be arranged to fit each student’s particular situation. CST 105, which fulfills the GRD requirement, is also recommended.

4. The only difference in the B.A. and B.S. programs in the first two years is the PHY 291-292 requirement for the B.S.* The B.A. student may take PHY 211-212. Should the B.A. student switch to the B.S. program after the sophomore year, one advance Physics course will be required; PHY 321 Modern Physics, is suggested. *(MAT 191, Calculus I, is a prerequisite for PHY 291.)

5. Electives may be taken in any area, including chemistry, related sciences and mathematics. Additional hours may be taken in the major and related areas, but the number of hours at graduation will increase accordingly. CHE 491, 492 Independent Study is encouraged.

6. Only major requirement and related area requirement courses in which grades of C- or better are earned will be counted toward the major. Students must earn a C- or better in prerequisite major requirement and related area requirement courses before advancing to subsequent courses.

7. Two courses from among CHE 420 or (556 and 557, which counts as one course), 442, 481, 531, 536, 553 must be chosen as Chemistry Electives. CHE 533 Instrumental Analysis Lab need not accompany CHE 531 Instrumental Analysis Lecture, but may be elected.

8. Senior Chemistry majors register for CHE 401 and attend seminar, whether or not they plan to present a seminar this first semester. All must register for CHE 402 for the second semester. A grade will be given in the second semester, based on presentation and attendance in CHE 401 and CHE 402. Juniors are encouraged to attend.

Major Requirements
1. CHE 111, 112, 114, 115, 242, 331, 333, 351, 352, 354, 372, 401 (audit), 402, 406 or 461
2. Two courses from among: CHE 420 or 556 and 557 (which counts as one course), 442, 481, 531, 536, 553

Related Area Requirements
1. MAT 191, 292
2. PHY 211, 212 or 291, 292

Licensure Requirements
1. HEA 201, ELC 381 CUI 545, 450, 465, 470, 559
2. Six credits from BIO 111, 112, GEO 103, 111, 205, 311, 314. CHE 252 is also recommended
