The curriculum
for a chemistry major is based on the belief that a properly trained
chemist needs a solid command of the factual, theoretical, and experimental
aspects of the various areas of chemistry. This includes an understanding
of how chemistry relates to other sciences such as physics, biology,
geology, and the environmental and material sciences.
The Chemistry
major at Augustana includes courses in General, Inorganic, Analytical,
Organic, Physical, Instrumental, and Biochemistry. Supporting courses
in mathematics and physics are also required for the chemistry major.
Chemistry majors certified by the American Chemical Society are
also required to do student research starting at the end of their
junior year and continuing through their senior year. Students then
describe and discuss the results of their research project in a
paper completed in a senior research seminar at the end of the senior
year.
Additional courses
are offered in advanced Physical, advanced Inorganic, and Environmental
chemistry. The Chemistry Department is located in the state-of-the
art Science Building that opened in September, 1998.
The new
Biochemistry major was approved this fall and includes the following
courses, the basic chemistry courses of General, Organic,
Analytical, Biochemistry and Physical Chemistry as well as 12
biology credits. For further information go to Dr. Pamela
Trotter's Web page. (See the faculty page on this site for the
address.)
