The
Chemistry Department of the University has been
approved by the Committee on Professional Training
of the American Chemical Society. This means
that the teaching staff, curriculum, equipment,
library, and other facilities of the Department
meet the standards established by the Society
for the proper undergraduate training of chemists.
Students who complete the work for the professional
degree, Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, will
upon graduation and certification by the Chairman
of the Department, receive a special certificate
from the Society. Certified graduates are eligible
to become Members of the American Chemical Society;
other chemistry graduates may become Associate
Members and Members after three years of professional
experience in chemistry.
Students who wish to have the best preparation
for graduate work or for an industrial position
in chemistry should follow the program leading
to the Bachelor of Science in Chemistry. Students
who desire a course of study which is less concentrated
in chemistry in order to prepare themselves for
advanced work in other fields should pursue the
program leading to the B.S. degree with a major
in chemistry. Those students who wish to prepare
themselves for teaching in High School may pursue
the program leading to the B.S. degree with a major
in chemistry in the College of Arts and Sciences
and take additional courses in the Department of
Teaching and Learning to qualify for teaching certification.
The specific course requirements for each of these
major programs are listed below.
Graduate Study
The
Department of Chemistry offers graduate programs
leading to the degrees of Master of Science and
Doctor of Philosophy with majors in inorganic chemistry,
organic chemistry, physical chemistry and analytical
chemistry. In order to pursue graduate work in
chemistry, the student must have the baccalaureate
degree with a major in chemistry. Some students
may be interested in the five-year, combined M.S./B.S.
that is offered. For more detailed information,
see the Graduate School Bulletin.

chemistry with laboratory, and one year
of organic with laboratory. Chem 240 and
Biochem 301 can be substituted for one
year of organic chemistry. If all twenty
hours are required by the student’s
major, a minor may be achieved by taking
2 semester hours beyond the chemistry courses
required for the major. |
Teacher Certification |
In addition to fulfilling the requirements
of one of the majors listed above, students
seeking secondary teacher certification
in Chemistry must complete the Department
of Teaching and Learning requirements
in Secondary Education on page 155. Students
seeking certification must also complete
these additional courses: |

Chemistry majors seeking secondary certification
must have an adviser both in the Chemistry
Department and in the Department of Teaching
and Learning. Formal admission to Teacher
Education is normally sought while enrolled
in T&L 325 (see Department of Teaching
and Learning listing). |
Clinical Laboratory Science |
The
Clinical Laboratory Science (CLS) program
at UND offers a “4+1” curriculum
that allows a student to receive a certificate
from the CLS program with one year of additional
study past a B.S. degree in Chemistry. Students
would then be eligible to take a national
certification examination to become a certified
Clinical Laboratory Scientist. The CLS program
requires a cumulative GPA of at least 2.8
for the B.S. program and a grade of C or
better in certain specified courses. Please
see the CLS program for more details. |
