Idaho State University Undergraduate Catalog 2009-2010
Objectives:
1. To gain a well-rounded knowledge of the basic
fields of the discipline.
2. To develop an understanding of how chemists think,
gather evidence, process data, and reach tentative conclusions.
3. To think critically about experimental
observations and theories.
4. To develop effective oral and written
communication skills.
5. To engage in problem solving.
6. To prepare for a career or profession after
graduation in the field of chemistry either as an educator or in
industry.
7. To be able to competitively pursue a health
related advance professional degree.
The department offers four degree programs, three traditional degrees and a unique combined B.S./M.S. program. The Bachelor of Arts degree is designed for students who desire a flexible program so they can develop more interdisciplinary competence. This degree is ideal for those students endeavoring to work at the chemistry/biology/pharmaceutical chemistry interface. The Bachelor of Science degree places greater emphasis on comprehensive chemistry, leading to American Chemical Society (ACS) certification upon graduation. The Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry is a joint program with the Department of Biological Sciences. The combined B.S./M.S. program is designed to enable students to attain both a B.S. and an M.S. in a five year time frame. This program allows the student to receive the ACS certified Bachelor of Science degree and the Master of Science degree at the end of the fifth year. Students may apply as sophomores for this program and can be admitted into the program at the beginning of their junior year.
Course work to be used as a prerequisite for a chemistry class
must
have been taken within the most recent 5 year period, unless the
student obtains permission of the instructor. All credits applied
to a
chemistry degree or applied to chemistry courses used to satisfy Goal 5
must have been taken within the most recent 10 years unless it
can be
shown that the course work taken earlier covers material which
has not
changed substantially during the intervening time, or that the student
has been able to remain current in the topics covered in the
course.
Evidence that the older course work is still appropriate must be
approved by the department chairperson.
