70 COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES
Chemistry
A major in Chemistry for a Bachelor of
Arts degree consists of 24 hours above
General Chemistry I, II. The following
courses are required: 1410, 1411, 2401,
3401, 3402, and at least 12 additional
advanced hours. A minor is recommended
in biology, geology, or mathematics. Also
recommended is a minor in science with
an environmental science emphasis. This
is an interdisciplinary minor requiring Biology
1410, 1411; Geology 1410, 1411;
eight hours selected from Biology 3420,
4422, 4431; and six hours of Geology
4399 (Geohydrology, Geochemistry, Environmental
Geology). The student will also
complete a three hour special problem in
Environmental Studies (Biology 3399 or
Geology 4399). Departmental supporting
courses and electives recommended include
mathematics 1310, 1311 or 1420,
1421 and Physics 1410, 1411. For other
requirements refer to the General Outline
on p. 73.
A major in Chemistry for a Bachelor of
Science degree consists of 32 hours above
General Chemistry I, II. The following
courses are required: 1410, 1411, 2401,
3401, 3402, 4304, 4401, 4402, 4403, and
five advanced hours. Supporting courses
which must be included in the degree
plan are Mathematics 1420, 1421 and
Physics 1410, 1411, 2201, and 2202. The
student preparing for graduate study in
chemistry should take additional work in
mathematics and physics. For other requirements
refer to the General Outline
on p. 73.
A minor in Chemistry for the Bachelor
of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree
consists of 1410, 1411, 2401, and 12
advanced hours.
Teacher Education Programs
Teacher certification in chemistry as a
first teaching field requires successful completion
of the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor
of Science degree with a major in chemistry.
For certification in chemistry as a
second teaching field a minor in chemistry
on the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of
Science, or the Bachelor of Behavioral
Science must be obtained.
Students who are seeking teacher certification
in chemistry should refer to the
Irvin School of Education section of thisBulletin for a listing of the teaching major
or minor and all other Texas certification
requirements.
Courses in Chemistry (CHEM)
1410, 1411 General Chemistry 1, 11(4-3-3) [#]
The first semester consists of the treatment of
the principles of chemistry. Included in the
study are modern atomic theory, kinetic molecular
theory, equilibrium, reaction rates, etc. The
second semester is devoted to a study of the
properties of the elements and their major compounds
and also to qualitative inorganic analysis.
Prerequisite: MATH 1310 or 1320 or concurrent
enrollment. Fall, Spring
2199, 2299, 2399, 2499 Special Topics
Topics will be chosen to meet special student
needs. Topics that may be covered are one
semester organic chemistry, history of chemistry,
etc. One, two, or three hours of lecture
each week. Laboratory may be included for
some topics. May be repeated for credit when
different subject matter is taught.
2401 Analytical Chemistry (4-2-6) [#]
A study of gravimetric and volumetric analysis
and introduction to physico-chemical methods
Prerequisite: CHEM 1411 Fall
3305 Biochemistry (3-3-0)
An introduction to the chemistry of living systems
(organic chemistry of living systems and
bioenergetics).
Prerequisite: CHEM 3402. Spring (even years)
3401, 3402 Organic Chemistry I, 11 (4-3-3)
A study of principles of organic chemistry.
Prerequisite: CHEM 1411. Fall, Spring
4140, 4240, 4340 Individual Research
Qualified students may elect individual work in
a specialized field under supervision of faculty
members. May be repeated for credit when
nature of a problem requires or when a new
problem is started.
4199, 4299, 4399 Selected Topics
Special topics chosen to meet a special student
need or to take advantage of the specialties
of the faculty. Topics may be general such
as advanced physical chemistry, etc., or more
specific such as quantum mechanics. One,
two, or three hours lecture each week. May be
repeated when different subject matter is taught.
4304 Advanced Inorganic Chemistry (3-3-0)
A study of the structure and reactions in inorganic
chemistry with emphasis on the areas of
transition metals and organometallic chemistry.
Prerequisite: CHEM 3401, and 4401. Spring
(odd years)
4401, 4402 Physical Chemistry I, 11 (4-3-3)
The general properties of matter, with the laws
and theories of its physico-chemical behavior,
are studied.
