Chemistry in Covenant college

The goals of the chemistry department are:For general education: To present, through the general survey course, both information about and insight into the manner in which the creation is sustained by God and thereby to increase students' appreciation of God's glory in what He has made and to help equip students to be better stewards of creation.For the major field: To provide students with a large body of information and techniques and with an appreciation of the role of chemical investigation in the kingdom of God. To prepare students for careers in professional chemistry or for admission into medical school.For related fields: To meet the needs of students with career interests in other natural sciences and the health care professions. To provide some measure of technical expertise and grasp of the limitations and successful applications of chemistry as it relates to other callings.

mathematics requirement (3 hours) and the natural science lab requirement are being fulfilled by courses that are already required for the major.Entering freshmen who plan to major in chemistry should plan to take MAT 145 Calculus I the first year. Placement in Calculus is based on a strong high school math background (through trigonometry) which is evidenced by a minimum SAT math score of 625 or ACT math of 25. Students who do not place into Calculus should sit for the Math Placement Exam during Orientation.
