Chemistry Statement of Policy

All junior and senior chemistry majors are required to attend oral presentations by students who are enrolled in CHEM 4900  and CHEM 4910 .

Prior to student teaching, all Bachelor of Science in Education Chemistry majors are required to serve as a lab assistant or lab preparation assistant for one semester in partial fulfillment of CHEM 4900 .

NOTE: Students must attend the first scheduled lab period to avoid being dropped from the lab to accommodate students on the wait list. ACS Approval

The Chemistry programs are American Chemical Society (ACS) approved baccalaureate programs. The American Chemical Society is located at 1155 Sixteenth St, N.W., Washington, DC 20036; phone 800-227-5558; webpage acs.org.
