Bachelor of Science - ChemistryChemistry is the study of matter and the energetics associated with chemical transformations. Chemists investigate an unseen scale of science in order to reveal chemical behavior and reactivity in chemical and biological systems. Unique laboratory experiences with appropriate instrumentation and theoretical, computational frameworks provide insight on studying the synthesis, characterization, properties and energetics of matter. Students will have a strong foundation in general, organic, analytical, inorganic, biochemistry, and physical chemistry. The Chemistry program will offer career paths for students interested in immediate employment, pre-health professions, teaching at the secondary level, and preparation for a variety of graduate programs, both in chemistry and in the interdisciplinary applied sciences including nanotechnology, forensic science, biosciences and bioengineering, pharmaceuticals, nutrition, alternative energy, and environmental science. The Chemistry Major Program will provide three concentrations: a General Chemistry Concentration with an explicit industrial focus; a Professional Chemistry Concentration intended for students planning to attend graduate or professional school; and a Chemistry Teacher Preparation Concentration to prepare highly qualified candidates for careers as teachers. The three concentrations share a common foundation of chemistry courses including Organic Chemistry I, Analytical Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Biochemistry and Physical Chemistry I. All concentrations also have a required two-course sequence of Physics (either Algebra or Calculus-based). Each concentration provides a distinct set of in-depth courses designed to prepare students for a variety of careers.

Educator Preparation OutcomesThe School of Education is committed to preparing teachers who ensure that students reach high levels of achievement. GGC graduates are caring, competent, analytical, collaborative, and adaptive. Research supports the central role of each of these domains in fostering student achievement. Each of these domains is operationally defined by a set of specific learning outcomes which are expected of candidates in all programs. Domain 1: Interpersonal Expertise 2.6 Candidates foster environments that reflect ethical behavior, respect, kindness, safety, and care. Domain 2: Content and Pedagogical Expertise 2.1 Candidates know the content they are expected to teach and engage in ongoing learning opportunities to develop knowledge and skills in order to provide all learners with engaging curriculum and learning experiences based on local and state standards. Domain 3: Assessment and Analytical Expertise 3.13 Candidates assess student learning using appropriate assessment tools. Domain 4: Leadership Expertise 4.9 Candidates assume leadership roles in classrooms and other school/community environments. Domain 5: Adaptive Expertise 5.1 Candidates exhibit routine and adaptive expertise for teaching. Admission to the Educator Preparation ProgramsAdmission to the Educator Preparation is required for admission to junior- and senior-level courses in the majors. The following requirements must be met for admission into the Elementary Education and Special Education majors, as well as the Teacher Preparation Tracks of the biology, chemistry, English, history, mathematics, and political science majors.
Prospective applicants to the Educator Preparation Programs may obtain application information from their mentors or from the School of Education. | ||||
