120; E.C.E. 272; Engl. 208; Math. 18, 113; Phys. 124, 225; Stat. 231. A 2.0 averagemust be maintained in all chemistry courses above Chem. 202.A "C or better grade in all prerequisites for chemistry courses is required forchemistry majors; the courses involved are chemistry courses, Physics 12, Math 16,and Math 17.Bachelor of Arts With a Major In Chemistry: The following courses are required:Chem. 15, 16, and 115, or Chem. 17 and 18; Chem. 133, 134, 135, 136, 141,142, plus nine hours of approved chemistry electives; eight hours of non-chemistryelectives from Cluster C and/or Engineering courses that include a lab, excluding otherrequired courses; Math. 15, 16; Phys. 1, 2. The nine hours of approved chemistryelectives must be selected from the following courses: Chem. 1 92, 1 94, 201 , 202, 203,210, 21 1, 212, 213, 235, 237, 239, 241, 243, 244, 315, 331, 332 subject to therestriction that only six hours of Chem. 192, 194, or 202, separately or combined, maybe counted toward the nine hour elective requirement.A "C or better grade in all prerequisites for chemistry courses is required forchemistry majors; the courses involved are chemistry courses, Physics 2, and Math16. Also a 2.0 average must be maintained in all chemistry courses above Chem. 202.OptionsStudents in the B.A. program may request to use Ag. Bi. 210 or 310 to meetpart of the nine hour chemistry elective requirement; however, at least three hoursmust be selected from chemistry courses numbered 210 or higher.Students in the B.A. program may take Chem. 246, 247 and 248 in lieu of Chem.141 and 142 and three hours of chemistry electives. Chem. 249 may be taken as twohours of chemistry elective.Students in either degree program may seek admission to the DepartmentalHonors Program. A student must have a 3.5 average in chemistry courses taken atWVU and must have the endorsement of the chemistry faculty. A student may applyfor admission to the program at any time after the student's first semester and no laterthan three semesters before graduation. The program includes a written report basedupon a research project performed under the supervision of a member of the chemistryfaculty. For further information a student should consult the associate chairperson.FacultyProfessorsNar S. Dalai, Ph.D. (U. Brit. Columbia). Physical chemistry, Magnetic resonance,Fossil fuels.Gabor B.
