129 BI458, Molecular Genetics: Molecular structure and biochemical function of the gene as illustrated by the original research literature, viruses and eukaryotic cells. Prerequisite: BI350 or BI357 or CH361. (U)(3). Occasionally. BI480, Biology Capstone: This course provides a capstone experience, a chance to put into practice the knowledge and analytical skills learned as a Biology major. The course will explore a specific area of Biology through reading and discussion of the scientific literature and preparation of a review paper. Open only to senior biology majors. (U)(3). Fall and spring. BI490, Internship in Biological Sciences: A course offering the student supervised work/ research experience in a setting pertinent to the major area of study but outside the department. Permission of the department chair is required. (U)(3). Fall and spring. BI499, Honors Thesis: (U)(3). Fall and spring.

Chemistry is often referred to as the “central science”. It plays a role in the discovery of better medicines, in the development of safer chemicals for household use and in the development of the next generation of electronic gadgets. It also must ensure that all of these things are done in a sustainable manner. The study of chemistry will do more than just impart technical knowledge, ideas and techniques useful in a laboratory setting. It will allow for experiences that will develop Butler University problem solving abilities and critical thinking skills. Class and conference presentations, poster sessions and lab reports will help develop proficiency in communicating in a variety of settings. The skills gained can be applied not just to careers in chemistry, but also to careers in health care, law, business and education and to the pursuit of advanced degrees in a variety of fields. Why Study Chemistry at Butler? The faculty and staff are dedicated to providing a supportive yet challenging environment for students interested in studying chemistry at the undergraduate level. The curriculum is designed to prepare students for the accelerating pace of change in chemistry and across science. Students are encouraged to pursue undergraduate research with faculty whose expertise span across a wide range of chemistry sub-disciplines. Departmental poster sessions, weekly seminars and project driven laboratories encourage interaction between students and faculty during and outside class starting in the first year curriculum. Chemistry Department Student Learning Outcomes • Understand key concepts related to the physical and chemical properties of matter. • Communicate within and outside the chemical discipline. • Develop problem-solving skills through experimentation and analysis. • Appreciate the relationship between integrity, science and society. • Demonstrate knowledge of and use of appropriate safety protocols in laboratory settings. Degrees • Major in Chemistry • Minor in Chemistry Requirements for the Major Students that plan to enter the chemical profession or pursue graduate studies in chemistry should complete the requirements (or as many of the requirements as possible) for American Chemical Society Certification. Students interested in chemistry as a path to a professional program and are considering an additional major or a minor may want to pursue The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
