Emphases:
Within the ACS-certified chemistry specialization, courses from the elective credits may be chosen to develop emphases that are recognized by the American Chemistry Society. Chemical Physics Emphasis:
The following courses may be taken as electives to develop the chemical physics emphasis: three semester hours of advanced physics electives beyond that already required; at least three semester hours of advanced mathematics electives. The required undergraduate research experience (CHEM 498) must be in physical chemistry and for at least 3 credits. Environmental Chemistry Emphasis:
The following courses may be taken as electives to develop the environmental chemistry emphasis: CHEM 482 and one of the following sequences; PS 213-213L and PS 412, MICR 231-231L and MICR 310-310A or PS 421-421L, CEE 333 and BIOL 475. The required undergraduate research experience (CHEM 498) must be in environmental chemistry and for at least 3 credits. Field work and/or studies of modeling in environmental systems are encouraged as a component of the undergraduate research experience. Notes:
