Senior Thesis
The biochemistry curriculum allows for significant undergraduate
research experience, culminating in a senior thesis for those
students who wish to pursue postgraduate studies and are maintaining
a grade point average of 3.0 or better in all science and
mathematics courses. A qualified student wishing to participate in
the senior thesis program must notify the appropriate department
(either biological sciences or chemistry, depending on the student’s
research interests and curriculum emphasis) no later than the end
of the fall semester of the junior year. A thesis committee, consisting
of one or more faculty members from each department, will be
formed to consider the thesis proposal, which must be submitted
during the spring semester of the junior year. After the approval of
the senior thesis committee and the appropriate department head,
based on both the proposal and the student’s academic record,
the student will be permitted to register for Senior Thesis in
Biochemistry (BCM 4991 and BCM 4992) during the senior year.
These courses and Research Sources and Systems (COM 2012)
substitute for Undergraduate Research 1 (CHM 4800) and four
credit hours of restricted chemistry electives toward meeting the
degree requirements listed above. Senior Thesis in Biochemistry
students are encouraged to include at least one year of foreign
language (French or German) in their degree programs.
Dual-degree Option in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering
This option requires approximately one additional year of study and
allows the student to complete bachelor’s degrees in both chemistry
and chemical engineering.
Chemistry – Chemical Management, B.S. ___________
Major Code: 7032 Degree Awarded: Bachelor of Science
Age Restriction: N Admission status: undergraduate
Delivery Mode/s: classroom only Location/s: main campus
The Bachelor of Science in Chemistry – Chemical Management is
accredited by the American Chemical Society. This program prepares
the graduate for the many diverse career opportunities available
to the chemist in government, private industry and academia.
Chemical management is designed for the student interested in a
business career in the chemical industry. Chemical management
provides a complete program in chemistry, supplemented with
selected business coursework.
Degree Requirements
Candidates for a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry – Chemical
Management must complete the minimum course requirements as
indicated. Deviation from the recommended program can be made
only with the approval of the student’s adviser and the concurrence
of the department head.
Because the subject matter in general chemistry forms a critically
important foundation for all of the advanced chemistry courses,
both CHM 1101 and CHM 1102 must be passed with grades of at
least C before taking any other chemistry courses.
