Notre Dame College offers two degree programs in chemistry: Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts. These two degree programs give students a choice in the extent of the chemistry they would like to pursue relative to other areas of study outside the major, for example, in the liberal arts or business. The major outcomes for students in the Chemistry programs are as follows:

• Students will develop a broad foundation in the chemical and physical sciences.Students will analyze and synthesize solutions to chemical problems.
• Students will demonstrate laboratory skills necessary to function as a professional chemist.
• Students will critically evaluate validity of scientific claims.

BINARY PROGRAM IN ENGINEERING

Students who are interested in pursuing a career in engineering may enter the Binary Program in Engineering. Students who major in mathematics or science at Notre Dame College can apply for admission to a binary program at Case Western Reserve University. The application should be made during the junior year. However, a freshman entering Notre Dame College should make known to the academic advisor the intent to enter the binary program so that appropriate course selection may occur. At the conclusion of the engineering degree requirements the student will receive a B.S. degree from Notre Dame College and a B.S. degree from the School of Engineering, Case Western Reserve University. The program takes a minimum of five years. Students who wish to pursue engineering after graduation can do this with an undergraduate major in chemistry or mathematics. During the sophomore year the student should know the program requirements of the planned graduate school so that appropriate course electives can be made.

SUMMER LABORATORY RESEARCH INTERNSHIPS

Notre Dame College is located in an area known for its major research universities and hospitals. Students are strongly encouraged to apply for summer research work in these facilities. These experiences provide the student with additional learning opportunities, work experience, summer employment, career exploration possibilities, and, in some circumstances, academic credit from Notre Dame College.
