Departmental Honors

Opportunity is provided for qualified chemistry majors, including those with the biochemistry option, to participate in the Chemistry Honors Program and graduate with distinction, high distinction, or highest distinction in chemistry. Students interested in this program should contact the Department chair during their junior year. To be eligible, a student must meet the following requirements:

Be a Chemistry Department major with a chemistry grade point average of at least 3.4.
Complete advanced work in chemistry. At least 2 credit hours of Independent Study (CHEM 940) and completion of Seminar (CHEM 496) satisfy this requirement. Students in the Pre-Health and Teacher Education options should see the Department chair about fulfilling this requirement.
Submit a written report based on research completed in CHEM 940 and make a presentation based on this research (normally as part of CHEM 496). The written report will be due ten days before the presentation. One copy is to be submitted to your adviser and one copy to the Department chair.
