化学

主要的需求

The major in chemistry consists of ten 1-semester courses as follows: two semesters of general chemistry lecture and laboratory (CHEM1109–1110 and CHEM1111–1112 or CHEM1117–1118 and CHEM1119–1120), two semesters of organic chemistry lecture and laboratory (CHEM2231–2232 and CHEM2233–2234 or CHEM2241–2242 and CHEM2243 and CHEM2234), one semester of analytical chemistry lecture with laboratory (CHEM3351), one semester of inorganic chemistry lecture and laboratory (CHEM3322 and CHEM3324), two semesters of physical chemistry lecture (CHEM4475–4476), one semester of advanced methods lecture with laboratory (CHEM5552), 和一学期的生物化学讲座(CHEM4465). 除了, the following are required: two semesters of physics lecture and laboratory (PHYS2200–2201 or PHYS2100–2101 and PHYS2050–2051) and three semesters of calculus (MATH1102–1103, 和MATH2202).The preceding fulfills the 太阳城网赌平台 requirements for a B.S. 化学学位. For this degree to be certified by the American Chemical Society, two additional chemistry laboratory electives are required, usually CHEM4491–4492 Introduction to Undergraduate 太阳城官网 I and II or CHEM5591–5592 Undergraduate Chemical 太阳城官网 I and II.The recommended sequence for the 化学 major is as follows:

第一年

CHEM1109–1110 General 化学 with Laboratory or CHEM1117–1118 Honors Modern 化学 with Laboratory; two semesters of 物理 with Laboratory (PHYS2200–2201 or PHYS2100–2101 with PHYS2050–2051); Calculus (MATH1102–1103); Core courses.

第二年

CHEM2231–2232 Organic 化学 or CHEM2241–2242 Honors Organic 化学 with Laboratory; CHEM3351 Analytical 化学 with Laboratory; CHEM3322 Introduction to Inorganic 化学 with Laboratory; MATH2202 Multivariable Calculus; elective or Core courses.

第三年

CHEM4475–4476 Physical 化学; CHEM5552 Advanced Methods in 化学 I; elective or Core courses.

第四年

CHEM4465 Introduction to 生物化学; elective or Core courses.

The ten 1-semester chemistry courses that comprise the chemistry major amount to 37 credits. 五门非化学课程共22学分.

给一年级学生的信息

学生 who intend to be 化学 or 生物化学 majors must enroll in CHEM1109 General 化学 and CHEM1111 General 化学 Laboratory, or CHEM1117 Honors Modern 化学 and CHEM1119 Honors Modern 化学 Laboratory. The choice of chemistry or biochemistry as a major requires that certain courses in other disciplines be taken as soon as possible.

小的需求

副修化学包括六门课程. Two semesters of general chemistry (CHEM1109–1110 or CHEM1117–1118, with associated laboratories) are required as the introductory courses for the minor. Four additional chemistry courses are chosen in consultation with a faculty advisor and approved by the Director of the departmental minor, 林恩·奥康奈尔教授(Merkert 111, 617-552-3626). 正常情况下, two of the four additional courses would be Organic 化学 I and II, 但其他选择可能是更好的选择, depending on the student's objective in attaining the minor. 根据MCAS政策, a student must have at least 15 credits in the minor program that are not used to fulfill requirements for another major or minor.

The following 1000-level courses cannot be used to complete the minor: CHEM1105, CHEM1106, CHEM1115, 或CHEM1161. The following research courses cannot be used to complete the minor: CHEM4491–4492 or CHEM5591–5592.

留学信息

出国前, 化学 majors must have completed the following prerequisites: General 化学, CHEM1109–1110 or CHEM1117–1118 and lab; Organic 化学, CHEM2231–2232 or CHEM2241–2242 and lab; Analytical 化学, CHEM3351 and lab; Inorganic 化学, CHEM3322 and lab; Calculus, MATH1102–1103 and MATH2202 or 2203; 物理, PHYS2200-2201或PHYS2100-2101和实验室. 例外情况必须得到部门的批准.
