PROGRAM
OF EMPHASIS
Department: Chemistry
Title: Chemistry (starting with the
entering class of 2007)
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.

*Students may study chemistry at the Catholic University in Lille, France, the University of Applied Science in Steinfurt, Germany, or at the Philipps University in Marburg, Germany. Study of a language can replace CA and IC by completing language study beyond the 210 level and at least 1 semester abroad in the target language. Summer language programs can help to provide the necessary language training. Calculus I and II might be taken in summer school to provide an opportunity for language preparation. Alternatively, language might be studied abroad during the summer prior to the junior year.
