INSTRUCTOR Putnam. Students concentrating in chemistry are afforded a variety of options upon graduation. Many go to graduate school in chemistry, biochemistry, chemical engineering, materials science, medical school, dental school, law or business. Others go directly into professional chemistry as employees of private industry, governmental agencies or educational institutions. Departmental alumni/ae are university professors, research scientists, medical doctors, lawyers, dentists, executives, directors of research, secondary school teachers and administrators. Most concentrators engage in research projects for credit in association with a member of the department faculty. Normally this is begun during the second semester of the junior year and continued through the senior year. Opportunities exist for many students to work on projects prior to their junior year and/or in the summer. Requirements for Concentration The minimum number of semester credits required for concentration in chemistry is 38, including 29 semester credits of core chemistry courses. These core courses are presented here in a typical schedule of a student intending a concentration in chemistry. | |
