Augsburg College
Overview Courses Degree Requirements
 

Bachelor of Arts

Major in Chemistry

CHM 115, 116 General Chemistry I, II
or CHM 105, 106 Principles of Chemistry I, II
CHM 351, 352 Organic Chemistry I, II
CHM 353 Quantitative Analytical Chemistry
CHM 361 Physical Chemistry I
CHM 363 Physical Chemistry Laboratory I
CHM 491 Chemistry Seminar (4 semesters)

and two additional courses from:
CHM 364 Physical Chemistry II
CHM 367 Properties of Polymers

CHM 464 Advanced Organic Chemistry
CHM 481 Advanced Analytical Chemistry
CHM 482 Advanced Inorganic Chemistry
CHM 470 Principles of Medicinal Chemistry
BIO 367 Biochemistry

Also required:
PHY 121, 122 General Physics I, II
MAT 145, 146 Calculus I, II
Because upper division courses have mathematics and physics prerequisites, students
should plan to take MAT 145, 146 in the freshman year and PHY 121, 122 in the
sophomore year.

Teaching Licensure in Physical Science
The State of Minnesota has specific licensing requirements for teachers that may differ slightly in emphasis from the Augsburg major requirements. The state requirements may also be subject to change after publication of this catalog. Students therefore should consult with the Augsburg Department of Education to identify current Minnesota teacher licensure
requirements.

Chemistry for Pre-Professional Students
Pre-medical students should plan to take at least three courses (and usually more) in biology. Other pre-health and preprofessional students (physician assistant, pharmacy, engineering, etc.—see pre-professional program listings in the Academic Information section) should consult members from the chemistry department for assistance in course planning early in their college careers.

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE

American Chemical Society Approved Major

Twelve courses including:
CHM 115, 116 General Chemistry I, II
or CHM 105, 106 Principles of Chemistry I, II
CHM 351, 352 Organic Chemistry I, II
CHM 353 Quantitative Analytical Chemistry
CHM 361, 363 Physical Chemistry and Laboratory I
CHM 364, 365 Physical Chemistry and Laboratory II
CHM 464 Advanced Organic Chemistry
CHM 481 Advanced Analytical Chemistry
CHM 482 Advanced Inorganic Chemistry

One course from:
CHM 367 Properties of Polymers
CHM 470 Principles of Medicinal Chemistry
CHM 495 Topics in Chemistry

Also required are:
CHM 491 Chemistry Seminar (four semesters)
MAT 145, 146, 245 Calculus I, II, III
PHY 121, 122 General Physics I, II (should be taken in sophomore year)

Recommended: Modern Physics, additional mathematics, research experience, reading
ability in German, and computer proficiency.

Departmental Honors
Full ACS major; GPA of 3.50 in chemistry, mathematics and physics, 3.00 overall; one course or summer of approved research; participation in seminar.

Minor
Five courses that must include:
CHM 105, 106 or CHM 115, 116, CHM 351, 352, and CHM 353.

Note: credit will not be granted for both CHM 105 and 115, or for both CHM 106 and 116. Other restrictions are in the course descriptions.
