EDUCATION
The future of technological advancement depends critically on the preparation of superior
science teachers at the elementary and secondary levels. Through the College of Education,
the department sponsors programs resulting in B. S. degrees leading to New York State
provisional certification in the following areas:
- Chemistry Education, Birth - Grade 6
- Chemistry Education, Grades 1 – 6
- Chemistry Education, Grades 1 – 9
- Chemistry Education, Grades 5 – 12
- Chemistry Education, Grades 7 – 12
- Chemistry, Special Education and Childhood, Grades 1 – 6
- Chemistry, Special Education and Adolescence, Grades 7 – 12
Minor – Chemistry
The minor in chemistry is awarded to a student who has successfully completed a sequence of five
courses with their attendant laboratories in chemistry. No chemistry course numbered lower than
CHE111 may be used to fulfill the requirements for a chemistry minor. The specific sequence of
courses is determined by the student during consultation with their chemistry faculty advisor.
