The Lecturers listed are individuals who have been employed as instructors on an as-needed basis,
within the last several years, to teach courses at Benedictine University. Instructors listed may not
currently be employed by Benedictine University. The University is fortunate to be able to provide our
students with part-time faculty whose experience, credentials and commitment to education add to the high quality of our resident faculty.
Objectives:
Chemistry courses are designed to prepare students to:
1. Understand matter, its properties and physical and chemical changes;
2. Have a sound understanding of the traditional areas of chemistry including: analytical, physical, organic, inorganic and biochemical, and their applications;
3. Understand the laboratory methodologies in the chemical sciences;
4. Respond to a changing technological society;
5. Enter studies in professional school (medicine, dentistry, veterinary, pharmacy) and graduate school; and
6. Enter a career in industry (research, chemical business and marketing, patent law) or teaching.
Requirements - Major:
CHEMISTRY CONCENTRATION: Students must complete: MATH-C210(4)and MATH-207(1) or C170(4)and 171(1)plus 200(4); and an additional 200 or 300 level MATH course (MATH 260(4)is recommended); PHYS-C113(3), C114(1), C118(3), 119(1), or PHYS-C211(4), C205(1), C212(4), 206(1). Two semesters of a modern foreign language are strongly suggested. All of the preceding are applicable to the core, as appropriate.
The following courses are required with a grade of "C" or better: CHEM-C113(3), C115(1), C123(3), C125(1), 235(4), 236(4), 242(3), 244(1), 247(3), 249(1), 272(2), 313(3), 314(1), 315(3), 316(1), 320(3), 321(1), 392(1), 398(2), 399(2), and two of the following advanced courses: CHEM-335, 340, 357, 390 and BCHM 361. An original research project and thesis must be completed. Students who satisfactorily complete this concentration (assuming that BCHM 361 is one of the advanced Chemistry classes taken) fulfill the requirements for ACS certification.
Requirements - Minor:
Students seeking a minor in chemistry must complete, with a grade of "C" or better: CHEM-C113(3), C114(1), C123(3), C124(1) and 12 hours in chemistry courses numbered 200 or above, including at least three credit hours at the 300-level. No credit hours will be allowed for CHEM-295.
Requirements - Teaching Certification:
Students desiring to be certified to teach chemistry on the secondary level (grades 6-12) are to declare themselves as chemistry majors and education minors and register with the Benedictine University Education Program as teaching certificate candidates. Advisement is a joint responsibility of the chemistry and education programs. Students must complete the requirements for the chemistry major, a second teaching field and Teacher Certification in Secondary Education which includes an Education minor (see Education).
CHEMISTRY MAJOR WITH EDUCATION MINOR: Students must complete the following courses with a grade of "C" or better: CHEM-C113(3), C114(1), C123(3), C124(1), 235(4), 236(4), 242(3), 244(1), 247(3), 249(1), 313(3), 314(1), 315(3), 316(1), 320(3);BCHM-C261(3); MATH-C210(4), 207(1); or 170(4),171(1)plus 200(4); 211(4), 212(4); PHYS 105(3); and PHYS-C113(3), C114(1), C118(3), 119(1)or PHYS-C205(1), 206(1), C211(4), C212; NTSC-111(3); PHYS-107(4); PHIL-290(3); EDUC-200(1), 205(3), 215(3), 260(3), 310(3), 353(3),354(0), 331(3),350(0), 371(12), 206(0); and PHED-257(2).
