Combining biology with other area gives a valuable expertise in cross-disciplinary areas and makes academic preparation more distinctive. Pursuing a biology minor program help introducing students to core concepts in biological areas and at the same time complement premedical requirements for students interested in medicine and gives a solid background for those concerned in other health science fields as well as those who wish to pursue careers in the chemical and biochemical industry. With a comprehensive, well-rounded education, student may attain a wider and deeper knowledge and become more competitive in the job market. MISSION The mission of the Biology Minor is to offer a general but coherent program, providing students with basic knowledge in different fields of Biology. EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES The purpose of the Minor in Biology: 1. To provide students with basic general information in Biology through lecture and laboratory courses. 2. To prepare students interested in pursuing further education in health-related fields such as Medicine, medicinal chemistry, nutrition, public health and medical laboratory. 3. To offer students with wider scope of job opportunities. STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES Students with a Minor in Biology will: 1. Show acquisition of basic knowledge of biological sciences. 2. Demonstrate adequate experience in lab and basic research techniques. 3. Demonstrate problem-solving abilities in biological science. 4. Acquire adequate preparation for careers in biological sciences or entrance into professional studies. MINOR’S REQUIREMENTS Students interested in Minor in Biology must complete the following requirements Biology requirement (19 credits) BIO201 General Biology I 4 BIO202 General Biology II 4 BIO321 Genetics 3 BIO345 Cell and Molecular Biology 4 BCH301 Introduction to Biochemistry 4 ACADEMIC CATALOG [ 2011-2012 ] SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES 173
Department of Natural Sciences MINOR IN CHEMISTRY Chemistry is the basis for many fields of engineering, biology and other sciences. Therefore, a minor in chemistry attempts at teaching students about the relationship between chemistry and the world around them and allows students to gain a broad introduction to the basics of theoretical and applied chemistry. Combining chemistry with other areas gives a valuable expertise in cross-disciplinary areas and makes academic preparation more distinctive. Pursuing a minor in chemistry would widen student’s choices of further studies such as health professional schools, chemical engineering, environmental chemistry and technical chemistry fields including cosmetics, textile and polymers. At the same time, the chemistry Minor complements premedical requirements for students interested in Medicine. MISSION The mission of the Chemistry Minor program is to offer a consistent general program, providing students with a supportive environment to learn the general basic principles in chemistry and the different laboratory skills and instrumental techniques. EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES The purpose of the Minor in Chemistry: 1. To provide students with basic general information in Chemistry through lecture and laboratory courses. 2. To provide students with the ability to work effectively and safely in laboratory environment. 3. To provide student access to modern instrumental analytical techniques and applications. 4. To prepare students interested in pursuing further education in health-professional fields, chemical engineering, technical and industrial chemistry fields, environmental science and scientific communication fields. 5. To offer students with a wider scope of job opportunities. LEARNING OUTCOMES Students with a Minor in Chemistry will: 1. Students will successfully show acquisition of basic concepts in chemistry. 2. Students will demonstrate adequate experience in laboratory and instrumental modern techniques. 3. Students will be able to identify and solve applied chemical problems. 4. Students will attain adequate preparation for any career related to chemistry or entrance into professional studies such as health and chemical engineering; and technical advanced fields. MINOR’S REQUIREMENTS Students interested in Minor in Chemistry must complete 18 credits of the following: Core Courses (12 Credits) CHM201 Chemical Principles 3 CHM202 Analytical Chemistry 3 CHM204 Quantitative Analysis 2 CHM311 Organic Chemistry I 3 CHM313 Organic Chemistry I Lab 1 Elective Courses (6 Credits) Choose two courses out of the following selection CHM312 Organic Chemistry II 3 CHM331 Thermodynamics 3 CHM421 Inorganic Chemistry I 3 CHM401 Instrumental Analysis 3 MINOR IN ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE The minor in Environmental Science is an interdisciplinary program, which gives students the opportunity to examine environmental issues from a variety of perspectives. The knowledge of environmental science major issues is central to theories and research in chemistry, biology, civil engineering, as well as social science, and public policy. MISSION The mission of the environmental science minor is to introduce students to environmental issues by increasing their competence and ability to address and analyze environmental issues, their origins, ramifications, and resolutions.
