Professors
The Department of Chemistry offers a B.S. and B.A. degree in Chemistry and a B.S. in Chemistry with a Chemical Physics option or an Environmental Chemistry option. The B.S. program is certified by the American Chemical Society and is designed for students interested in a professionally oriented major leading most often to a career or advanced study in chemistry. The B.A. program is designed for students who wish to obtain a broad educational background with less intensive emphasis on chemistry. In this program, students have increased ease in meeting requirements for such areas as premedical, predental, or prepharmaceutical science; education; and administration. A Chemical Physics option is available for students who wish to prepare for admission to a graduate program in chemical physics. The Environmental Chemistry option is available for students who wish to become familiar with environmental processes and problems related to air, water, and soil, and to apply their chemical knowledge working in environmental-related areas. This option also prepares students for admission to a graduate program emphasizing environmental chemistry. Pre-Health Science Chemistry majors in either the B.S. or B.A. programs can prepare for admission to medical, pharmacy, or dental schools by carefully planning their programs of study. Students planning to apply for post-graduate studies in the health sciences should make it a special point to consult with the Chemistry undergraduate advisor early in their studies at UCR. Teaching Credential Teachers in the public schools in California must have a credential approved by the State Commission on Teacher Credentialing. The credential requires an undergraduate major, baccalaureate degree, and completion of a graduate credential program such as that offered by the Graduate School of Education at UCR. The latter usually requires three quarters and includes education courses and supervised teaching. Before admission and student teaching in a graduate credential program, the candidate must pass the California Basic Education Skills Test (CBEST) and demonstrate subject-matter proficiency in the fields in which the candidate will teach. The candidate can demonstrate proficiency either by passing the commission's subject-matter assessment examination, or preferably, by completing an undergraduate program that is state-approved for teacher preparation. UCR has an approved undergraduate program for Chemistry majors who plan to get a Multiple Subjects Credential and teach in the elementary (K-6) grades. A breadth of course work is necessary, in addition to the specified requirements for the major. Students are urged to start early, preferably as freshmen, selecting courses most helpful for this career. Details and counseling on the Bridge to Teaching Program, a waiver program for the multiple subjects credential, are available in the Liberal Studies and Interdisciplinary Programs office, (909) 787-2743. Details and counseling on other waiver programs are available in the Department of Chemistry or the Graduate School of Education. UCR does not yet have a state-approved undergraduate program for chemistry majors who wish to teach at the secondary level. The Teaching Credential in Science, chemistry emphasis, is required for chemistry teachers, grades 7-12. Students who plan to get this credential must take the commission's subject-matter assessment examination and should make certain their academic program includes preparatory course work. The examination includes chemistry in depth and general science with introductory, college-level biology, chemistry, physics, and geoscience (geology, meteorology, oceanography, astronomy). Further information about courses, requirements, and examinations can be obtained in orientation meetings, the Student Affairs Office (1221 Pierce Hall), and the Graduate School of Education (1124 Sproul Hall). Career Opportunities Most present-day chemists work in industrial firms, government, and education. Although many chemists eventually leave the research laboratory for positions in management, marketing, or production, the most common professional assignments are in research and development. Chemists are involved in the development, production, testing, control, and sales of products such as medicines, glasses, metals, agrochemicals, paints, rubber, plastics, soaps and detergents, and plant nutrients. An increasing number of chemists are involved in the fields of molecular biology, air and water quality, and the development of new sources of energy and new high-technology materials. The federal government and nonprofit foundations also employ chemists. Such agencies as the National Institutes of Health, Department of Energy, the Environmental Protection Agency, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, National Institutes of Science and Technology, and Food and Drug Administration require scientific and technological advice and administration as well as chemical research. The bachelor's degree programs in the Department of Chemistry are well suited for preparation for general, technical, professional, and health-science careers. After graduation, UCR students may be professionally employed; go on to graduate work; or enter business, medical, or other professional schools. Students transferring to the Chemistry major are required to complete courses comparable to the following one-year sequences before they transfer:
At least one of the following one-year sequences:
Students must have a minimum grade point average of 2.70 in transferable college courses. Degree Requirements University Requirements See the Undergraduate Studies section for requirements that all students must satisfy. College Requirements See Degree Requirements, College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences, in the Undergraduate Studies Section, for requirements that students must satisfy. Some of the following requirements for the major may also fulfill some of the college's breadth requirements. Consult with a department advisor for course planning. The major requirements for the B.A. and the B.S. degree in Chemistry are as follows: Bachelor of Arts
1. Lower-division requirements (48-49 units)
b) Ten (10) additional upper-division units in Chemistry if the year of organic chemistry is taken at a community college Bachelor of Science
1. Lower-division requirements (61–62 units)
Chemical Physics Option
Students must consult with the undergraduate advisor before electing this option.
1. Lower-division requirements (61–62 units)
Environmental Chemistry Option
Students must consult with the undergraduate advisor before electing this option.
1. Lower-division requirements (73–74 units)
Undergraduate research is strongly encouraged for students with the requisite
ability. Students wishing to participate in this activity should contact individual
faculty members concerning areas of interest.
Sample Program
Student programs are planned on an individual basis with their advisors, and
there is considerable flexibility in the sequence in which courses required for
the major are taken. For example, PHYS 040A, PHYS 040B, PHYS 040C can be started
equally well during either the freshman or sophomore year. The sample program is
typical for a well-prepared entering freshman who seeks the B.S. degree.
The minor in Chemistry consists of 28 upper-division units in chemistry.
1. No more than 8 of the 28 upper-division units may be in courses required in the student's major.
2. At least one of the courses used to satisfy the 28 units must be in CHEM 125, CHEM 111, CHEM 140 or CHEM 166 (courses which include laboratory work).
All of the upper-division courses in chemistry have a prerequisite of CHEM 001A, CHEM 001B, CHEM 001C or CHEM 01HA, CHEM 01HB, CHEM 01HC and most have CHEM 005 as a prerequisite.
Students with a minor in Chemistry should consult with the Chemistry undergraduate
advisor to construct a specific program consistent with their career goals.
See Minors under the College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences in the Undergraduate
Studies section of this catalog for additional information on minors.
Fields of specialization (subdisciplines) offered by the Department of Chemistry
are analytical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, and physical chemistry.
Research is also carried out in bioanalytical, bioinorganic, bioorganic, and biophysical
chemistry and in chemical physics, environmental/atmospheric, organometallic chemistry,
and neuroscience. For additional information on the latter, please see Neuroscience
Graduate Program in the Curricula and Courses section of this catalog. All applicants
are required to submit scores from the GRE General Test. A score from the Advanced
Chemistry GRE is not required for admission. It is strongly recommended, however,
that applicants submit this score in order to receive maximum consideration for
fellowships. The department normally considers applications for teaching and research
assistantships at the same time as fellowships; therefore, students are strongly
encouraged to complete their applications for admission and support as early as
possible. Normally applications for fellowships are awarded by February for students
entering in the following fall quarter. Although most students begin in the fall
quarter, students may begin their studies in the winter or spring quarter.
Orientation Examinations
All students admitted to regular graduate status as prospective candidates for
master's or doctoral degrees in chemistry are required, at the beginning of their
first quarter in residence, to take orientation examinations. The examinations are
normally given during two consecutive days starting up to one week prior to the
first day of instruction. Although a notice of the times and places of these examinations
is sent to each student admitted to regular graduate status in chemistry, it is
the student's responsibility to be on the campus early enough to check the bulletin
boards in Pierce Hall for this information. Students working toward advanced degrees
in chemistry take these examinations in the four subdisciplines: analytical, inorganic,
organic, and physical chemistry. The purpose of these examinations is to assess
the student's undergraduate preparation. The results permit the faculty to determine
the course program that will most effectively aid the students' development in their
chosen subdisciplines.
Master's Degree
Requirements are:
Plan I (Thesis)
Plan II (Comprehensive Examination)
Doctoral Degree
The requirements are orientation examinations in analytical, inorganic, organic,
and physical chemistry; general university requirements; and departmental requirements.
Program of Study A program of study will be required by the departmental committee on graduate study on the basis of the students' performance on the orientation examinations and a consideration of their subdisciplines. For students with a normal B.S. level preparation, the typical course pattern for each subdiscipline is as follows:
Cumulative Examinations To encourage a planned program of study and literature
reading carried out concurrently with research, the major written examinations in
each subdiscipline offered for the doctor's degree (namely, analytical, inorganic,
organic and physical chemistry) shall consist of cumulative examinations. Nine examinations
are given each year, the first in September and the last in June. Students may begin
the cumulative examinations at any time during their first year in residence. Once
the examination program has been started, students may elect to take the examinations
sequentially or skip selected examinations at their discretion. However, no student
is given more than the 15 attempts to pass the six examinations needed to satisfy
the requirement. In addition, the six examinations must be passed before the end
of the second year in residence.
Foreign Language A reading knowledge of German, French, or Russian is
recommended but not required for the doctoral degree in chemistry.
Oral Qualifying Examination After passing the required number of cumulative
exami nations, the candidates are given an oral examination by their doctoral
committee. This examination consists in part of defending an original proposition
and is designed to test the extent of the candidates' development and their breadth
of knowledge in chemistry and related fields.
