PROGRAM OF EMPHASIS

Department: Chemistry

Title: Chemistry (for students entering prior to 2007 fall)


A designated POE in chemistry must meet the minimum criteria listed below. When combined with appropriate supporting courses, it can provide a useful basis for further study in related areas-for example, in computer science, physics, geology, environmental science, biochemistry, or a variety of biomedical fields such as immunology, pharmacology, virology, medicinal chemistry, nutrition, toxicology, medicine, and molecular genetics, to name a few. In some cases it may be appropriate to consider writing an individual POE. For example, a student interested in Chemical Physics may wish to design a POE that eliminates some organic chemistry and includes more math and physics courses. Any chemistry faculty member will be willing to discuss the procedure for writing such a POE.
