Chemistry Chemistry Brett Bodsgard, Ph.D., Chair The department of chemistry sees its focus as providing students with the liberal arts background and comprehensive chemical education necessary to succeed in graduate or professional school or in entrylevel careers in the chemical sciences. Chemistry, a basic science, contributes to the general objectives of a liberal arts education both through its content and through the skills and dispositions that it imparts to students. The fundamental principles of chemistry constitute some of the most important underlying concepts for understanding the physical and biological behavior of nature. Hence, some knowledge of chemistry is a prime requisite for anyone who is to be considered liberally educated. General Department Goals Students: • Demonstrate their understanding of the fundamental chemical principles and concepts by applying them to the solution of unfamiliar chemical situations and exercises; • Predict the products of chemical reactions, propose reagents to transform one compound into another, draw reaction mechanisms, name compounds and interpret spectral data for the purpose of structural determination; • Solve practical chemical problems by gathering pertinent information, applying chemical concepts where appropriate and calculating and interpreting numerical results; • Work as a team to design laboratory approaches to solving chemical problems, use the chosen methodologies to obtain meaningful data, and present satisfactory qualitative and quantitative solutions to the problems; • Design and implement an original research project that includes an effective survey of the chemical literature as well as their own independent experimental or theoretical work; and • Effectively communicate the results of their original research in a formal written report and/or oral presentation. The department believes that active learning, self-directed learning, and group learning are all valid approaches to accomplish the above outcomes. As a consequence, the courses designed by the department rely heavily on guided-inquiry methods, laboratory projects, and research, with constant stress on written and oral communication. Our general belief is that students learn better by doing. Chemistry students can be involved in the activities of the department, especially through the Saint Mary’s University Chemistry Club. The Chemistry Club has been a student affiliate chapter of the American Chemical Society since 1947. The club sponsors speakers, field trips, fund raisers, educational programs, and social events. The members are also involved in promoting National Chemistry Week in the fall of each year.

It provides a strong background in both chemistry and biology with additional support from both physics and mathematics. The major is an ideal choice for those students interested in graduate education in chemistry, biochemistry, biology, or pharmacy; a career in medicine, medical research or allied health areas; or eventual employment in the areas of forensic science, food science, agricultural research, or the biotechnology industry. Today many new jobs are being created in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries that demand the breadth and flexibility available with a biochemistry background. A well-prepared biochemist is also more informed about the bioethical issues challenging the scientific community. Biochemistry uniquely examines the cellular and sub-cellular levels of life through the “eyes” of molecular chemical reactions, structures, and energetics. In other words, life is examined at its most fundamental physical level. A. Chemistry Core B. All of the following: B110 Botany and Zoology I B111 Botany and Zoology I Laboratory B120 Botany and Zoology II B121 Botany and Zoology II Laboratory C409 Biochemistry with Laboratory C412 Molecular Biology with Laboratory C. One additional course from the following list (more are highly recommended): B310 Genetics with Laboratory B311 Cell Biology with Laboratory B434 Microbiology with Laboratory C332 Physical Chemistry II with Laboratory C441 Analytical Chemistry II with Laboratory Chemistry Major (57 credits): The chemistry major serves those students who wish to build an educational background for a variety of interesting careers. A chemistry graduate is ready for immediate employment either as a chemical technician or as a chemist in government, industry, or academia. Chemistry offers excellent preparation 78
