As part of their Liberal
Studies requirements, students are required to take one experiential
learning course (4.0 quarter hours). This requirement does not
have to be fulfilled in the student's major department, however
the department of chemistry does offer several options for earning
credit in chemistry while completing this requirement. These options
are:
CHE 251 Laboratory Projects
in Polymer Science
This course involves individual research projects, syntheses and
characterizations of novel polymers. Experiential Learning. Prerequisite:
CHE 175. Offered each spring.
Evaluation and assessment of student performance
will be carried out by the instructor. CHE

CHE 392 Internship in
Chemistry
Experiential learning experience in a government agency, industrial
firm, business, or nonprofit organization. Prerequisite: Junior status
or permission. The internship contract must be signed by both the
student and departmental internship advisor (selected by the student
and agreed to by the advisor). Please file a copy of the signed contract
with the chemistry chair.
Evaluation and assessment
