3 THE DEPARTMENT The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Miami University has 25 full time faculty members on the Oxford Campus, 2 full time members on the Middletown Campus, and 1 full time faculty member on the Hamilton Campus. On the Oxford Campus, the Department is housed in Hughes Laboratories where over 80,000 square feet of space are available for teaching and research. The Department offers four undergraduate degrees, B.S. and A.B. degrees in both Chemistry and Biochemistry. At the graduate level the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees are offered. There are about 320 undergraduate, 25 M.S., and 40 Ph.D. students majoring in Chemistry or Biochemistry. The Department has been accredited by the American Chemical Society (ACS) since The number of students graduating with one of our four undergraduate degrees (listed above) is increasing. For the 2012 ACS reporting year, we had 57 graduates. This is greater than our recent four year average of 53, and our historical (17 year) average of 44. A number of these students also received a second degree in a related field such as Biology, Mathematics, or Physics. Surveys in the past few years indicate that about 2/3 of our students enter graduate or professional studies programs shortly after receiving their undergraduate degrees in the Department. B.S. degree recipients most often pursue further studies in chemistry, biochemistry, or medicine. Our B.S. graduates with excellent academic records have been accepted for graduate studies in Chemistry or Biochemistry at nearly every major university in the country. A.B. degree recipients most often pursue further studies in the health professions, business, or the life sciences. Many students who received an undergraduate degree in Chemistry and Biochemistry at Miami University have gone on to be granted the doctoral degree. In 2013, four of our recent graduates who are pursuing their graduate degrees at Stanford, Princeton, and Caltech, have been awarded 2013 NSF (National Science Foundation) Graduate Fellowships to support their graduate work. Both B.S. and A.B. graduates with excellent academic records are accepted to medical, dental, veterinary, and pharmacy schools. The Department also offers a combined Bachelor s/ms program. If you are interested in working toward both of these degrees in chemistry or biochemistry, ask your departmental advisor for more information during fall of your junior year. Every year other graduates enter the work force directly with a bachelor s degree. The types of positions that these graduates obtain depend on the type of undergraduate degree. B.S. degree recipients are most frequently employed as chemists with employers representing a broad spectrum of industries, including pharmaceuticals, consumer products, and fine chemicals. A.B. degree recipients are sometimes employed in related areas such as technical sales. 3

4 NOTES ON ACADEMIC ADVISING The formal academic advising process begins in the second semester of the freshman year when all chemistry and biochemistry majors are assigned an advisor in the Department. A table on next page shows the list of faculty advisors. Your advisor assignment will be posted online in March. Generally, you will remain with that advisor for the rest of your college career. Questions that arise before assignment of an academic advisor should be directed to the Chief Departmental Advisor. Your academic advisor is available to help you with questions concerning course selection within your major, departmental requirements, career planning etc., and will endeavor to clarify Miami Plan and College of Arts & Science requirements. You are urged to become familiar with all requirements for your degree; the ultimate responsibility for satisfying academic requirements rests with you. The Degree Audit Report System (DARS) is a valuable aid for advisees and advisors. This report shows your progress toward satisfying all degree requirements. In order for this report to be effective, it is necessary that the Registrar know which of the chemistry degree programs you are pursuing. We strongly suggest that you review your DARS (available online via BannerWeb) at least once each semester. Transfer students should see the Chief Departmental Advisor early in their first term at the Oxford campus. Students wishing to switch to a major in Chemistry or Biochemistry should have a change of major form signed by the Chief Departmental Advisor. The form should then be turned in to the Arts and Science Advising Office, Room 146 Upham Hall. The Miami University General Bulletin for the year you entered Miami is the official document concerning your graduation requirements. You will find all Departmental, College, and University requirements listed therein. Unusual problems concerning requirements may be directed to the Arts and Science Advising Office ( General questions concerning vocational goals and career planning may be directed to the Arts and Science Advising Office and/or the Office of Career Services ( ), Room 241 Hoyt. ADVANCED PLACEMENT/CLEP Advanced Placement is available for General Chemistry, CHM 141, 142, 144, and 145. for CHM 141, 142, 144, and 145 can also be earned by the College Level Examination Program (CLEP). If you have received credit from AP or CLEP, consult the Chief Departmental Advisor for suggestions regarding subsequent Chemistry courses. PREREQUISITES Most chemistry courses have prerequisites (including, in some cases, Mathematics and Physics). These prerequisites are listed in the Bulletin. You should never enroll in a course until you have completed the prerequisites. When designing a plan of study, careful attention to prerequisites is necessary to ensure completion of all required Chemistry and related courses within four years. This is particularly true for the B.S. degree programs. The suggested plans of study (pages 12 15) properly account for prerequisites of all required courses. First year students must note that there is a math prerequisite for General Chemistry, based on their math placement (MP) score. Math prerequisite for General Chemistry MP score of 12, enroll in CHM 141 or 141.H MP score of 8 11, enroll in CHM 141.R (includes 1 hour recitation) MP score of 7, you must complete a math course before enrolling in general chemistry. Check with a math advisor for placement in an appropriate course. 4

6 ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS FOR CHEMISTRY AND BIOCHEMISTRY MAJORS Overview All Chemistry and Biochemistry majors take the CHM14X series (regular, majors, or honors sections) their first year, and the 25X series of Organic Chemistry in the second year. In the 3 rd year, all majors take Physical Chemistry courses and Analytical Chemistry courses. During the 3 rd year, students need to establish whether they want to focus on Chemistry or Biochemistry. By the end of their 3 rd year, students should have decided whether they would pursue the BA or BS degree. Note that each degree program requires completion of all the College of Arts and Science requirements, but different sets of related course requirements. /No credit Chemistry and Biochemistry majors may not take CHM courses or required related courses on a credit/no credit basis. Consult Section 208 of the Student Handbook for warnings about and further restrictions on enrollment in courses on a credit/no credit basis. Enrollment in courses on a credit/nocredit basis may affect eligibility for scholarships and membership in some honorary societies. Courses for your Thematic Sequence may be taken credit/no credit. Duplicate Because several levels of courses are offered, certain restrictions are placed on credit granted for sequences of courses that, in the Department s view, duplicate coverage of subject matter. may not be received for both: a. CHM 14X regular, majors, and honors versions b. CHM 231 and 241, 242 or 251, 252 c. CHM 332 and 432 d. CHM 451, 452 and 471, 472 e. CHM 363, 364 and 454, 455, 456. Grade Point Average A 2.0 minimum grade point average (GPA) in Chemistry and Biochemistry courses is required for graduation. All chemistry courses taken (required courses and elective courses) are used in computing this average. Incompletes ( I grades) are counted as F grades in the computation. Refer to the current Student Handbook (1.2.C.3 Course Repeat Policy) for eligibility and GPA calculations for repeated courses. Transfer credit does not affect your Chemistry or University GPA. APPLICATION FOR GRADUATION Students must apply for graduation. Application may be made any time after 96 hours of credit are earned. Early application allows time to detect and fulfill any overlooked requirements. The deadline for application is early in your last term. The deadline dates are given on the official Miami University calendar. 6

12 DEPARTMENT DEGREE PROGRAMS Combined Bachelor s Master s Program in Chemistry This program is for students interested in obtaining a combined Bachelor s and Master s degree. This section describes the departmental protocol for handling applications for the combined program. For University wide guidelines, see the Graduate Bulletin. None of the policies below can supersede those of the Graduate School. 1. Applications for the combined bachelor s master s program should be made to the Graduate Admissions Committee. In addition to the credit hour requirement (64 hours) and the grade point average requirement (3.25) set by the Graduate School, the applicant should have completed at least one semester of physical chemistry and be enrolled in a second semester. At the time of application, the applicant should be made aware that departmental policy precludes them from obtaining a doctoral degree in Chemistry at Miami. 2. The application should include a current transcript, a plan of study showing how the requirements of the degree can be fulfilled in a timely fashion and a statement from the proposed Faculty Mentor supporting the applicant. Applicants whose master s degree work is projected to extend into the sixth year after matriculation at Miami University do not meet the intent of the combined bachelor s master s program. a. For students intending to pursue the thesis option, the application and the supporting statement must discuss the research progress of the applicant and how the thesis will be completed in a timely fashion. b. For students intending to pursue the non thesis option, the application and the supporting statement must discuss the topics of advanced study that the student intends to pursue and how the report will be completed in a timely fashion. 3. Since the advanced undergraduate courses are the same as those used in the proficiency requirement, students admitted to the combined program need not take entrance exams. In addition, the Faculty Mentor interview process need not be carried out. Upon admission, the graduate committee should be named and the first year exam conducted within the first semester in the program, at which time the committee will provide input and approval of the plan of study. 4. The above guidelines do not preclude students with majors outside the department from being considered for the combined program with the master s in chemistry, but such applicants are subject to the same policies as undergraduate chemistry and biochemistry majors. 5. In general, participants in this program will not be considered for departmental support. 12

19 SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR UNDERGRADUATE MAJORS Independent Study and Undergraduate Research Many Chemistry and Biochemistry majors are engaged in undergraduate research, with some exceptional students beginning as early as their freshman year. Students must enroll in a course to participate (CHM 177, 277, 377, 477 or 490) and may receive credit (but no letter grade initially) for this experience. After one semester of research graded credit/no credit, a student may arrange for a limited number of research hours with a letter grade awarded for work with the same professor. There are several requirements for this opportunity: a. All arrangements are made individually between the student and a particular instructor. b. A minimum cumulative G.P.A. of 2.3 in Chemistry courses is required. c. An Independent Study Permit must be submitted for registration in Undergraduate Research or Independent Study courses each semester. To find out about the research interests of individual faculty members, go to: Under Programs, click on Undergraduate Program and then Research Opportunities. Read the research descriptions posted by the faculty and select some interesting projects. Contact a few faculty members and arrange appointments to explore the opportunities, expectations, and likely outcomes for several different research groups. Then choose one to work with based on your mutual understanding with the faculty member. Departmental Honors in Chemistry Chemistry majors with at least 25 credit hours of Chemistry and a 3.5 cumulative average in Chemistry are eligible to pursue Departmental Honors. A number of other requirements must be met to receive Departmental Honors. You must apply for Departmental Honors during the spring semester of your junior year. Contact the Departmental Honors Program coordinator for more information. Note: Departmental Honors is different than University Honors. See below. Honors Courses The Department offers several General Chemistry (14X.H) and Organic Chemistry (24X.H and 25X.H) Honors courses. They are only open to students in Miami s Honors Program. If you are interested in these offerings, contact an advisor. In some cases you may be required to take both an Honors lecture and the corresponding lab to receive an Honors experience, as defined by the Honors Program. Also, you may be expected to take both courses in a two semester sequence. Teacher Certification Both our A.B. Chemistry and A.B. Biochemistry degrees are compatible with teacher licensure. Students who wish to combine teacher licensure with an Arts and Science major must observe the rules, procedures, and restrictions pertaining to admission to a licensure cohort as outlined by the School of Education and Allied Professions. For information, contact the Office of Student Services in the School of Education and Allied Professions, 200 McGuffey Hall ( ). 19

20 Study Abroad If you are interested in study abroad, you should meet with an academic advisor in your first year, as significant adjustments in your schedule may be necessary. Studying abroad in the summer or during J term is the easiest option to schedule and should not require any changes in your schedule as outlined in this document. BA Chemistry and Biochemistry majors can usually free up a semester in their junior year by careful planning. BS Chemistry and Biochemistry majors have more course requirements and may have more difficulty in scheduling a semester abroad. Some students are able to schedule this if they entered Miami with AP credit for several science and math courses. Most students who study abroad choose courses to fulfill Miami Plan requirements such as humanities or social science courses. Awards Each year the Department selects students to receive awards, citations, and scholarships. The recipients are selected on the basis of academic and other achievements. The scholarships are awarded with the concurrence of the Miami University Scholarship Office. If you are officially listed as a chemistry or biochemistry major you will be considered, without having to apply. Student Organizations There are several student organizations of interest to Chemistry and Biochemistry majors. The Miami Chemical Society is open to all students interested in Chemistry and Biochemistry. Meetings emphasize topics of interest to those anticipating graduate studies and/or careers in Chemistry or Biochemistry. Student affiliate membership in the American Chemical Society is also available to Chemistry majors. Contact the Miami Chemical Society for details or ACS directly ( Miami M.E.D. is an honorary organization for premedical students. Many meetings are open and feature speakers from the field of medicine or medical education. Information on many student organizations in healthcare related fields can be found under advising section on the website for the Mallory Wilson Center for Healthcare Education ( ). 20
