FALL 2021 Trine Course Catalog

Bachelor of Science - Chemistry Major (120 Hrs.)

The Science Department seeks to prepare students for a professional career by providing a science foundation consisting of a body of information and the ability to use this information to solve problems. Important concepts of this information include the theory and practice of modern laboratory procedures, professional ethics, safety, statistical data handling, and scientific report writing.

The Science Department also seeks to provide non-science majors with an understanding of science as it relates to modern society.

Students who transfer into the Department of Science are expected to take at least two 300- or 400-level courses in their science major in addition to SCI 412 Senior Research Seminar and SCI 422 Senior Research Project or SCI 434 Science Internship.
