麻豆传媒

A Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry from 麻豆传媒 provides excellent preparation for students seeking employment in industry (chemical, pharmaceutical, agriculture, etc.) or the government (Department of Defense labs, regulatory agencies, law enforcement). It can also serve as a solid foundation for students who want to continue their studies in professional (medical, dental, veterinary, law, etc.) or graduate school.

SLU's Department of Chemistry places a great emphasis on undergraduate research. Chemistry majors have ample opportunity to pursue research projects under the close mentorship of full-time faculty members. Students use a variety of specialized equipment in laboratories and research.听

Undergraduates who study chemistry at SLU can attend professional meetings and present their research results. SLU students have presented numerous talks and poster presentations at regional and national meetings of the American Chemical Society and other scientific conferences in recent years.

Careers

Career options in chemistry include:

• Education
• Chemical research and development in industry or government laboratories
• Pharmaceutical research and drug development
• Environmental research
• Management and administration in the chemical industry
• Chemical and pharmaceutical sales

Other graduates continue through law school and specialize in patent or environmental law. The public health sector is also a common area for chemists to work.

Admission Requirements

麻豆传媒 also accepts the Common Application.

Freshman

All applications are thoroughly reviewed with the highest degree of individual care and consideration to all credentials that are submitted. Solid academic performance in college preparatory coursework is a primary concern in reviewing a freshman applicant鈥檚 file.

To be considered for admission to any 麻豆传媒 undergraduate program, applicants must be graduating from an accredited high school, have an acceptable HiSET exam score or take the General Education Development (GED) test.听

Transfer

Applicants must be a graduate of an accredited high school or have an acceptable score on the GED.

Students who have attempted fewer than 24 semester credits (or 30 quarter credits) of college credit must follow the above freshmen admission requirements. Students who have completed 24 or more semester credits (or 30 quarter credits) of college credit must听submit transcripts from all previously attended college(s).

In reviewing a transfer applicant鈥檚 file, the Office of Admission holistically examines the student鈥檚 academic performance in college-level coursework as an indicator of the student鈥檚 ability to meet the academic rigors of 麻豆传媒. Where applicable, transfer students will be evaluated on any courses outlined in the continuation standards of their preferred major.

International Applicants

All admission policies and requirements for domestic students apply to international students along with the following:

• Demonstrate English Language Proficiency
• Proof of financial support must include:
  • A letter of financial support from the person(s) or sponsoring agency funding the time at 麻豆传媒
  • A letter from the sponsor's bank verifying that the funds are available and will be so for the duration of study at the University

麻豆传媒 makes every effort to keep our education affordable. In fiscal year 2023, 99% of first-time freshmen and 92% of all students received financial aid and students received more than $459 million in aid University-wide.

For priority consideration for merit-based scholarships, apply for admission by December 1 and complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by March 1.

For information on other scholarships and financial aid, visit听www.slu.edu/financial-aid.

1. Graduates will be able to demonstrate a foundational understanding of organic, inorganic, analytical and physical chemistry.
2. Graduates will be able to demonstrate proficiency in basic (general, organic, and analytical) laboratory techniques and conduct laboratory experiments safely.
3. Graduates will be able to collect, interpret and analyze quantitative data.
4. Graduates will be able to communicate scientific results effectively.

听Chemistry students must complete a minimum total of 48 credits听for the B.A. major.

Non-Course Requirements

All undergraduate majors must complete an exit interview听with the department chair during their final semester.

Continuation Standards

The following standards apply to all new freshmen and transfer students:

• Students must earn "C-" or better in General Chemistry I (颁贬贰惭听1110 General Chemistry 1 (3 cr)/颁贬贰惭听1130 General Chemistry 1 for Majors (3 cr)) and a "C-" or better in 颁贬贰惭听1120 General Chemistry 2 (3 cr), 颁贬贰惭听1140 General Chemistry 2 for Majors (3 cr), or the equivalent in transfer.
• Students must earn a "C-" or better in 颁贬贰惭听2200 Analytical Chemistry 1 (2 cr).

Students who do not earn a "C-" in any of the identified courses must retake the course at SLU in the following semester. If a "C-" is not earned on the second attempt the student will be dismissed from the major. A student who withdraws from one of these courses on the first attempt thus has one more attempt to earn a "C-."

Students must maintain a 2.0 GPA in their major (CHEM) and required related courses (BIOL, PHYS, MATH, etc.). If a student falls below a 2.0 major GPA the student must meet with the undergraduate program director to review their academic performance. If the student cannot raise the major GPA to 2.0 in two semesters, the student will be dismissed from the major.

Roadmaps are recommended semester-by-semester plans of study for programs and assume full-time enrollment听unless otherwise noted. 听

Courses and milestones designated as critical (marked with !) must be completed in the semester listed to ensure a timely graduation. Transfer credit may change the roadmap.

This roadmap should not be used in the place of regular academic advising appointments. All students are encouraged to meet with their advisor/mentor each semester. Requirements, course availability and sequencing are subject to change.
