Chemistry - Colgate University

Chemistry from Colgate University is a Campus Bachelor Chemistry degree that prepares you for a Science career. Concentration in chemistry is suitable for students who wish to prepare for careers in the chemical profession or in the related fields of life, health, or earth sciences. Many graduates go on to post-graduate programs in biochemistry, chemistry, chemical physics, pharmacology, medicine, dentistry, or veterinary medicine. Recent chemistry students have also pursued careers in law, business, teaching, and other fields. Concentration Program in Chemistry The concentration program consists of the following requirements: a. Courses and Labs: General Chemistry (CHEM 101/101L and 102/102L) Organic Chemistry (CHEM 263/263L and 264/264L) Physical Chemistry (CHEM 333 and 334/334L) Instrumental Methods (CHEM 371/371L) Advanced Chemistry Laboratory (CHEM 482) At least two courses from CHEM 353, 356, 404, 411, and 462. Only one term of biochemistry (CHEM 353 or 356) may be counted toward the courses required for a chemistry concentration. CHEM 111/111L, a one-term course designed for the well-prepared student, may be substituted for CHEM 101/101L and 102/102L. Independent Studies (291, 391, 491) may not normally be substituted for one of the courses listed above, but if it can be demonstrated that such a course provides sufficient breadth at the advanced level, the department will consider a petition for substitution. An overall GPA of at least 2.0 is required for the chemistry courses (and associated labs) chosen to meet concentration requirements. b. Additional Requirements: MATH 111 and 112 PHYS 111 and 112, or 120 and 121, or 121 and 122, and required labs Junior and senior concentrators are expected to attend a weekly seminar series at which students, faculty, and guests present topics from the current literature and their own research. c. Recommendations Students wishing to meet the certification requirements of the American Chemical Society are required to take CHEM 411, Advanced Inorganic Chemistry, as well as one semester of biochemistry.
