Chemistry Bachelor of Science Bachelor of Arts
Chapman University's chemistry program provides a traditional
foundation in all areas of chemistry (organic, analytical, physical,
inorganic, biochemical) with an emphasis in environmental chemistry.
Faculty conduct research in soil chemistry, water chemistry, atmospheric
chemistry, geochemistry, and biochemistry. Research opportunities,
the job market, and salaries are abundant in the chemical professions.
° The chemistry program features small upper-division classes
with personalized attention and an opportu-nity to learn chemistry
in the laboratory.
° Students have the opportunity to work with faculty on research
projects.
° Brand new, remodeled laboratories feature modern analytical
instrumentation (UV/ Vis, atomic absorp-tion and FT infrared spectroscopy,
gas, high perfor-mance liquid, and ion chromatography).
° As the central science, chemistry offers an excellent foundation
to any student considering a career in med-icine or an allied health
field.
° The undergraduate major provides a background for further graduate
studies in analytical chemistry, bio-chemistry, inorganic chemistry,
and physical chem-istry. Because of the deep thinking and precise
nature of chemists, students with degrees in chemistry are always
in demand.
Careful attention should be paid to course prerequisites as not
all courses are offered every year. Enrollment in the appropriate
mathematics and physics courses should not be delayed.

total credits 53-55 Split Major
Students interested in receiving a split major with an emphasis
in chemistry must complete at least 21 upper-division graded credits
in chemistry, with courses from both the organic and inorganic areas.
At least 15 upper-division credits are required in the other area
of the split major. Only one credit of
Chem 499 may be included as
part of the graded credits. See page 41 for more informa-tion
about split majors. Students should consult with the department
chair when planning a split major.
Minor in Chemistry
Students interested in receiving a chemistry minor must complete
at least 18 graded credits in chemistry (at least 13 upper-division
credits), with courses from both the organic and non-organic areas.
Upper-division credits in organic chemistry may be used toward a
minor degree in chemistry (they are not considered duplicated).
Only one credit of
Chem 499 may be included as part of the graded credits. A minimum
of 6 upper-division credits must be completed in residence and a
minimum 2.0 cumulative grade point average and 2.0 GPA for all upper-division
course work must be maintained. Students should con-sult with the
department chair when planning a minor in chemistry.
Pre-Medical and Pre-Pharmacy
The chemistry major provides an excellent foundation for careers
in medicine. The teaching of medical and pharmacy school curriculum
are taught more and more on a molecular level and a background in
chemistry and biochemistry is more important than ever. A B. A.
or B. S. degree in chemistry with a year of general biology (Biol
201, 202) and a semester of molecular biology (Biol 450) will fulfill
entrance requirements at most medical and pharmacy schools. Electives
in Biochemistry and Drug Action are available through the Environmental
and Chemical Sciences Department.
Environmental Science Bachelor of Arts Bachelor of Science
The Environmental Science program at Chapman Uni-versity emphasizes
an interdisciplinary approach to the study of the environment. Career
opportunities in the environmental field have been increasing since
the 1970s. To prepare students for graduate or professional school
and employment, a core sequence of courses provides strong grounding
in the natural sciences and an overview of complex socioscientific
environmental problems.
Students may select upper-division electives in environ-mental
science, environmental chemistry, environmental biology, environmental
earth science, and the social sci-ences. Abachelor of science degree
prepares students for specialization in the sciences. Abachelor
of arts degree is recommended for students planning careers in the
social sciences, law, environmental management, education, or
related fields. Student work experience is strongly encouraged
through participation in internships during Interterm or Summer
Term of the junior or senior year.
