Bachelor of Science in Chemistry
Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry
The chemistry program at Chapman offers essential education and
training for students who are planning careers in the physical sciences
or who are anticipating further studies in the fields of environmental
science, food science, dentistry, medicine, medical technology,
nursing, or pharmacy. The undergraduate major also provides a background
for further graduate studies in analytical chemistry, biochemistry,
inorganic and organic chemistry, and physical chemistry.
Located on the fourth &Mac223;oor of Hashinger Science Center,
departmental facilities include several laboratories which are equipped
with modern instrumentation. The organic chemistry laboratory is
equipped with modern microscale glassware.
Future professional goals dictate which electives students choose.
Students interested in a well-rounded chemistry background should
enroll in as many elective courses as possible. Careful attention
should be paid to course prerequisites as not all courses are offered
every year. Enrollment in the appropriate mathematics and physics
courses should not be delayed. The following are minimum requirements
for the bachelor of science in chemistry.
For information regarding premedical, predental, or preveterinary
studies, see the biology section on page 96.

Split Major
Students interested
in receiving a split major with an emphasis in chemistry must complete
at least 21 upper- division graded credits in chemistry, with courses
from both the organic and inorganic areas. At least 15 upper- division
credits are required in the other area of the split major. Only one
credit of Chem 470 may be included as part of the graded credits.
See page 35 for more information about split majors. Students should
consult with the department chair when planning a split major.
Minor in
Chemistry
Students interested
in receiving a chemistry minor must complete at least 18 graded credits
in chemistry (at least 13 upper-division credits), with courses from
both the organic and non-organic areas. Upper-division credits in
organic chemistry may be used toward a minor degree in chemistry (they
are not considered duplicated). Only one credit of Chem 499 may be
included as part of the graded credits. A minimum of 6 upper-division
credits must be completed in residence and a minimum 2.0 cumulative
grade point average and 2.0 GPA for all upper-division cours work
must be maintained. Students should consult with the department chair
when planning a minor in chemistry.
Environmental
Science
Bachelor
of Arts
Bachelor
of Science
The Environmental
Science program at Chapman University emphasizes an interdisciplinary
approach to the study of the environment. Career opportunities in
the environmental field have been increasing since the 1970s. To prepare
students for graduate or professional school and employment, a core
sequence of courses provides strong grounding in the natural sciences
and an overview of complex socioscientific environmental problems.
Students may
select upper-division electives in environmental science, environmental
chemistry, environmental biology, environmental earth science, and
the social sciences. A bachelor of science degree prepares students
for specialization
in the sciences. A bachelor of arts degree is recommended for students
planning careers in the social sciences, law, environmental management,
education, or related fields. Student work experience is strongly
encouraged through participation in internships during Interterm
or Summer Term of the junior or senior year.
