<ul>
<li>
<p align="justify">manifest an understanding of those fundamental chemical principles and practices suggested by the American Chemical Society Committee on Professional Training.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="justify">demonstrate the applicability of chemical principles and practices in the study and understanding of other fields while recognizing the unifying aspects of knowledge regardless of fields.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="justify">be prepared for graduate study in chemistry and/or related professional fields.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="justify">be able to compete successfully for entry-level employment in chemistry or related areas.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="justify">be able to communicate orally and in writing about the impact of chemistry in society, historical advances in chemistry, and ethical issues in chemistry.</p>
</li>
</ul>

<ul>

</li>
<li>
<p align="justify">All topics are approved by the course instructor and/or the Student Standards and Assessment Committee.</p>

<p align="justify">All students are expected to do library work and gather and evaluate the information obtained.</p>
