CH475, Computational Chemistry: The
course covers theoretical methods of computing
molecular structure. Based on the structure,
thermodynamic properties, reactivity and
spectroscopic measurements (ultraviolet, visible,
infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance) can
be computed. Computed values are compared
to experimental data. Prerequisite: CH352 with
a C or better. (U)(2). Occasionally.
CH479, Special Topics in Physical Chemistry:
Various advanced topics in physical chemistry.
The subject matter for study will be listed when
the course is offered. Prerequisite: One year
of physical chemistry or permission of the
instructor. (U/G)(3). Occasionally.
CH491, Chemical Literature: The study
of the standard references and journals of
the chemical literature. Work in this course
includes library assignments and computer
searches. Prerequisite: 18 hours of chemistry.
(U/G)(2). Occasionally.
CH492, Chemistry Seminar II: Attendance at
and participation in the chemistry departmental
seminar series, including an oral presentation
on a research project or literature review.
Required for university honors. Prerequisites:
CH392 and 28 hours of chemistry. (U)(1).
Fall and spring
CH493, 494, Undergraduate Research:
Individual research under guidance of a faculty
member. Required for university honors.
Prerequisites: 14 hours of chemistry, permission
of the instructor and permission of the head
of the department. (U/G)(1,2). As needed.
CH499, Honors Thesis: (U)(3).
CH518, Advanced Placement Workshop in
Chemistry for High School Teachers: The
workshop will focus on the topics found on
the AP exam and in college general chemistry
(atomic structure, periodic properties, bonding,
kinetics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry,
equilibrium, solutions, acid/base and solubility).
The focus of the workshop will be on
problem solving and course content material
with some limited laboratory demonstration
activities. (G)(3). Summer.

Why Study Classics?
The culture, history and literature of Ancient
Greece and Rome have long captivated the
imagination of people throughout history and
across the globe, from the Renaissance to the
Founding Fathers of America to modern writers
from the Caribbean. We continue to live in a
world of classical roots, whether it be the Athenian
roots of democracy or the Roman origins
of our Republic, the Greek love for the beauty
of athletics, or an enthusiasm for theater that
moved from Greece to Rome to Shakespeare
and beyond. The Greeks and the Romans
helped articulate the liberal arts that are at
the heart of a Butler education. As we engage
with the thinking and the art of the ancients,
we aim to develop an understanding, enjoyment
and critical appreciation of some abiding
principles of our world. We enter into dialogue
with minds of the past in order to understand
ourselves better now. Studying the Greeks and
Romans, we become part of our larger family
over time. We enrich our minds and our imaginations,
and we sharpen our skills for work and
life today.
Why study Classical Studies at
Butler?
• Intimate and vibrant learning community:
Students in the Classical Studies program
at Butler have the opportunity to work
closely with a small, but dedicated faculty.
Smaller classes give students a greater
opportunity to engage directly with faculty
and with each other. As part of a smaller
major, students develop a stronger sense of
a community of thinkers, engaging in a
subject they are passionate about.
• Building on past knowledge: Our program
recognizes the quality of work many
students have done before arriving on our
campus. Students placing into second or
third year of Latin and completing at least
six hours of study in Latin are eligible for
3-9 advanced placement credit hours which
may count towards the major or the minor.
