The department also offers a number of courses for the nonscience student, and service courses for students in the other schools. The programs of study in chemistry prepare students for graduate work toward the master's degree or the doctorate, for careers in research, development, teaching, or for further study in areas such as medicine, dentistry, basic medical sciences, or allied health careers. For highly motivated students or for students who anticipate majoring in chemistry, the department offers special honors courses, which satisfy the first two years of chemistry required for majors and for the prehealth curriculum in medicine, dentistry, etc. Students need permission from the department in order to register for theses courses, which are limited to small classes. Permission is based on several factors, including background in mathematics, performance in high school chemistry courses, and, if offered, a placement examination.
