2009-11 Marian University Course Catalog, fall 2010 edition

300, 315, 340, 345), completion of all general education
requirements, 16 credits of chemistry including 151, 152, 305
and 306 (310 is strongly recommended), at least one course
in mathematics, and the full year internship of at least 30
credits, which apply to the biology major and the science
concentration. Acceptance into a hospital internship is
dependent upon many factors, including grades, interviews,
and letters of recommendation.
Upon the satisfactory completion of all requirements at the
college and the hospital, the student is eligible for the B.S.
degree with a major in biology. In addition, after successfully
passing an examination given by the Registry of Medical
Technologists of the American Society of Clinical Pathologists,
the student becomes a registered medical technologist.
Minor in Biology: To complete the Minor in Biology, a
student must complete at least 20 credit hours of biology at
or above the level of 201 this does not include BIO 214.

one area of a chemistry concentration. Also required are
MAT 230 and 231 and either PHY 110-111 or PHY 212. The
remaining courses are chosen from chemistry at or above
151, biology courses numbered 201 and above, physics
courses numbered 201 and above, and mathematics courses
above 231. All students must successfully pass the Major
Field Test in chemistry.
Concentration in Bio-Organic Chemistry: In addition to the
requirements stated above, the required courses are 306,
311, 312, 410, BIO 203 and 204, and at least 2 credits of
concentration electives from the following set: 270, 315, 325,
326, 380/480, 420, 430, 498 (credits beyond those previously
required above), 499, BIO 410, 415, and PHY 250.
Concentration in Chemical Physics: In addition to the
requirements stated above, the required courses are 326,
425, MAT 310, PHY 212 and at least 11 credits of
concentration electives from the following set: 380/480, 420,
425, 430, 435, 498 (credits beyond those previously required
above), 499, physics courses numbered 201 and above, and
mathematics courses above 231.
Concentration in Environmental Science: In addition to the
requirements stated above, the required courses are CHE
270, 306, 315, BIO 320, ENV 170/171, and at least 6 credits of
concentration electives from the following set: chemistry
courses numbered 201 and above, biology courses numbered
201 and above, physics courses numbered 201 and above,
and mathematics courses above 231.
Minor: 20 credits in chemistry at or above 151 including 300
and 305.
Associate in Science Degree (A.S.) in Chemical Technology:
25 credits in chemistry courses numbered 151 or higher
including 300, 305, 310, and 420; PHY 110-111 or PHY 212;
and MAT 140 or higher. The chemical technology program
prepares students for an immediate position as a research
assistant or laboratory technician.
Teaching requirements: Students who wish to teach in this
content area must meet all requirements for the major field,
and also meet the School of Education’s developmental
licensing requirements. Contact the School of Education for
high school licensing program descriptions and specifics for
each licensure area. All courses are subject to change based
upon current requirements from the Division of Professional
Standards, Indiana Department of Education.
Placement testing: Most science students will take CHE 151
and 152; however, well-prepared students may be able to
place into CHE 253 or 300-level CHE courses. Students who
place into CHE 253, and complete that course with a “C” or
better, will also receive credit for CHE 151. Students who
place into a 300 level CHE course, and complete that course
with a “C” or better, will also receive credit for CHE 151 and
152.
