Outcomes Assessment Methods
• Assessment of chemistry majors occurs through
examination of GPA in required courses. Majors
are required to maintain a 2.000 GPA in major and
minor courses as well as in other required
courses.
• Students are required to complete American
Chemical Society national standard exams in
general chemistry, organic chemistry, analytical
chemistry and physical chemistry during the
course of the chemistry degree curriculum. Scores
are compared to national averages to determine if
students exhibit a comprehensive knowledge of
the fundamental theories and concepts
necessary in the chemical sciences disciplinary
areas.
• Students are required to take an exit examination
during the senior year. The ETS Major Field
Examination, covers the undergraduate chemistry
curriculum. Scores are compared to national
averages to determine if students exhibit a
comprehensive knowledge of the fundamental
theories and concepts necessary in the chemical
sciences overall.
MATHEMATICS AND PHYSICS
DEPARTMENT
Department Chair: Chacon
Co-curricular Requirements
Students should experience co-curricular activities
which enhance, broaden and reinforce the academic
experience; therefore, the faculty support and
encourage students to participate in science-related,
as well as in general activities such as:
1) Science or chemistry clubs
2) Student government
3) Scientific meetings, seminars, symposia, field
trips, tours, etc.
3) Internships
MATHEMATICS PROGRAM
Faculty: Barnett, Louisell, Lundberg, Melnykov, Nichols
The major in mathematics leads to the degree of
Bachelor of Arts (BA) or Bachelor of Science (BS). A
flexible curriculum allows students to prepare for
graduate school, for teaching careers, or for employment
in areas that require mathematics (such as
actuarial science, computer science, engineering, or
statistics). Faculty advisors work individually with
mathematics majors and minors to design programs of
study. A list of advisors is available in the departmental
office.
Students need to be aware that mathematics courses
have prerequisites. Thus, many mathematics courses
must be taken in a particular order.
