PROGRAM OBJECTIVES
The chemistry degree program prepares chemistry
majors for graduate work in pure and applied chemistry, for employment
as research chemists and chemical technicians, for entrance into schools
for education in the health science and environmental fields, for governmental
civil service and teaching positions.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Eastern Oregon University chemistry graduates
will understand the basic chemical principles in the major specialty areas
which include inorganic, organic, physical and analytical chemistry. They
will be proficient in using appropriate and safe laboratory practices
and techniques including the use of instrumentation and computers. The
graduates will be able to design and conduct chemical research with appropriate
documentation including literature searches. They will understand the
importance of their discipline to modern society and be able to communicate
chemical knowledge both orally and in writing to their peers and to the
lay public.
MEANS OF ASSESSMENT
Students are assessed by standardized examinations
as they progress through the courses they take. This measures them in
comparison to national standards. In addition, the capstone courses they
take involve assessment by the entire chemistry faculty members during
their oral presentations. The results of their individual research projects
are measures of their proficiency to design and conduct meaningful experiments.
