TOTAL: 131-137 CREDITS
1 Senior year must contain at least 2 credits of laboratory or research.
2 Advanced biology courses are those courses which the Biology Department designates in the cellular, molecular or genetics areas.
CHEM 112L-113L 3 cr.
General and Analytical Chemistry Laboratory
(Lecture is required as pre- or co-requisite;
CHEM 112L is prerequisite for CHEM 113L)
Experiments involve semi-micro techniques for
qualitative and quantitative analysis (gravimetric
and volumetric analysis). Three hours laboratory
each semester.
CHEM 114L 2 cr.
General Analytical Chemistry Laboratory
A special laboratory course for those students
who are advanced in chemistry. Semi-micro
techniques of gravimetric and volumetric quanti-
tative analysis. Admission will be on the basis of
a placement exam and the professor’s permission.
Note: For students with majors in the
Chemistry and Biology departments, this course
will satisfy the requirements for the CHEM
112-113 laboratory courses.
CHEM 202 3 cr.
Global Change
Earth-system sciences and global environmental
change, examining the records of past changes in
climate, land-mass distribution, and atmospheric
and oceanic composition, evaluating fossils, treering
data, and geological indicators.
