CHEMISTRY OVERVIEW
Kettering University offers a rigorous chemistry degree consistent with the guidelines for degree certification by the American Chemical
Society which ensures our graduates obtain a solid chemical foundation. Students in the chemistry program take courses and laboratories in
all of the major chemical sub-disciplines including organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, analytical chemistry and
biochemistry. During their senior year chemistry majors take advanced chemistry courses in specialized areas and work closely with faculty
members on a research project. This allows them to gain a deeper insight into the sub-areas of chemistry of their choice.
A chemistry degree provides an excellent foundation for careers in traditional chemistry areas as well as many in non-traditional areas such
as, technical management, education, technical writing, sales, business, and law.
1
A concentration is required, with a minimum of 16 hours of approved courses that are not required for the Biochemistry Degree. There is a degree of
freedom in selecting the courses for this requirement; however, approval of the student’s faculty advisor and Chemistry and Biochemistry Faculty are
required.
2
Humanities and social science electives must be selected from approved 300 or 400 level series courses, including one humanities course and one social
science course.
3
Biochem Senior Research/Seminar II can be elected for a maximum of six credits, a minimum of two credits.
5
Biochemistry majors are required to complete a minimum of 46 chemistry lab contact hours; equivalent to 460 cumulative hours spent in the lab.
6
The minimum total number of credit hours required for graduation is 160. The total number of credit hours taken may exceed 160, depending on which
chemistry electives the individual student selects. All Biochemistry majors must meet the general education requirements and their program’s requirements
for a minor in addition to completing a minimum of 46 chemistry laboratory contact hours.
