*The
course in advanced chemistry can be selected
from the list below depending upon interest and
graduate study pursuits.
CHEM 332 Biochemistry II
CHEM 411 Advanced Organic Chemistry-Reactions
and Synthesis
CHEM 412 Advanced Organic Chemistry-Mechanism
and Structure
CHEM 414 Advanced Physical Chemistry
CHEM 416 Advanced Inorganic Chemistry
CHEM 421 Advanced Analytical Chemistry
One
or possibly two of these courses will be offered
each year. The decision on which of the
advanced courses will be offered is made during
the fall semester of an academic year, in
consultation with senior chemistry students who
will be graduated the following May.
The
American Chemical Society approved Chemistry
major provides an excellent science background
for careers in the field of biotechnology.
Additional courses, selected from the following
list, would enhance that background. Students
wishing to pursue employment or graduate work in
the field of biotechnology should select
elective and general education courses from the
following:
BIOL 101 Biological Concepts
BIOL 301 Genetics
BIOL 307 Microbiology
BIOL 340 Immunology
BIOL 435 Recombinant DNA
