Chemistry

Mission
The Department of Chemistry is committed to prepare students of chemistry who are ready for entrance into graduate training, teaching, or related industrial and medical careers. We will endeavor to accomplish this by developing appropriate knowledge, skills, and dispositions in our students consistent with their educational goals and the overall mission of Indiana Wesleyan University.

Purpose
The chemistry major is designed to provide the student with a general background in chemistry and to develop skills so that one is prepared for (1) graduate studies in chemistry; (2) entrance into professional schools such as medicine, dentistry, optometry, pharmacy or veterinary medicine; (3) entry-level positions in chemical research laboratories or environmental control laboratories and (4) chemistry teaching positions.

General Education Competencies
The general education speech and intercultural requirements can be met by enrolling in COM110, Speech Communications, and any intercultural activity approved by the general education committee. For chemistry majors/minors, a grade of "C" is required in all chemistry and required cognate courses. Non-majors must obtain a grade of "C" in all prerequisite coursework. Only courses numbered 125 or higher will be counted toward the major or minor.
