60/Chemistry
The Department of Chemistry trains pro-
fessional chemists and biochemists,
prepares chemistry teachers, and
gives background for work in biology, home
economics, medicine, nursing, medical
technology, dentistry, engineering, envi-
ronmental studies, pollution analysis and
control, patent law, and related fields.
Bachelor's degree candidates must
maintain a 2.5 grade point average
on all advanced courses attempted in the
Division of Science.
Pre-professional Advising
A degree in Chemistry or Biochemistry
provides an excellent background for
the study of medicine or dentistry.
Chemistry/Biochemistry majors who wish to
attend medical or dental school should
consult with either Dr. Brady or Dr.
Schaake for assistance in planning their
pre-professional program. Students
should also arrange for an advisory session
with the chairman of the Pre-medical/Pre-
dental Advisory Committee, Dr. Redden.
During the spring semester before
application is made to medical or dental
school, the student must make arrange-
ments to take the MCAT or DAT and begin
an application file with Dr. Redden.
This file must be complete by September 1
of the application year. The student
must also schedule an interview with the
Pre-medical/Pre-dental Advisory Com-
mittee during September. Information on
the dates for the interviews can be
obtained from the Pre-Professional Office,
room 305, Biology Building.
Programs of Study
Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, Bache-
lor of Science in Biochemistry, and Bach-
elor of Arts degree programs are offered.
Recipients of the B.S. in Chemistry,
and in some cases the B.A., are certified
by the American Chemical Society
as meeting requirements for professional
training of chemists. Courses required
for ACS certification may be obtained
from the department's Undergradu-
ate Affairs Committee.
