 Dr. Bowman and ACS students enjoy a weekend in the Blue Ridge Mountains (Fall 2005)
Fall 2009: Students can now major in Biochemistry. See Dr. Goldston for details.
Mission
The Department of Chemistry and Physical Science prepares biochemistry majors, chemistry majors and chemistry minors for graduate study in chemistry and chemistry-related professional programs; educates science majors in general chemistry, organic chemistry, and general physics; prepares physics minors with additional courses in physics, provides comprehensive coverage of earth science and physical science for elementary and middle education majors; and provides courses in natural science and astronomy to satisfy the laboratory-science requirement in the educational core common to all High Point University degrees.
Major and minor programs
- B.S. Biochemistry
- Required chemistry courses include General Chemistry I and II, Organic Chemistry I and II, Research and Writing in Biochemsitry, and Quantitative Analysis. Required biochemistry courses include Biochemistry I and II, Biochemistry Lab, Biophysical Chemistry, and Physical and Analytical Biochemistry Lab.
- B.S. Chemistry
- Required chemistry courses include General Chemistry I and II, Organic Chemistry I and II, Research and Writing in Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry I and II, Biochemistry I, Quantitative Analysis, Instrumental Methods, and Senior Research.
- B.A. Chemistry
- This is a popular choice for students double majoring in chemistry and biology. Required chemistry courses include General Chemistry I and II, Organic Chemistry I and II, Research and Writing in Chemistry, one course in Inorganic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry or Biochemistry, Quantitative Analysis, Instrumental Methods, and Senior Seminar.
- B.S. Chemistry-Business
- This degree prepares students with the scientific and business background needed for certain career options in industry. Required chemistry courses include General Chemistry I and II, Organic Chemistry I and II, Research and Writing in Chemistry, Quantitative Analysis, Instrumental Methods, and Senior Seminar. Required business courses include Financial Accounting, Principles of Macroeconomics, Principles of Microeconomics, Principles of Marketing, Principles of Management, and Human Resources Management.
- Minor Chemistry
- Many students majoring in Biology will also choose to minor in chemistry. Required courses include General Chemistry I and II, Organic Chemistry I and II, Research and Writing in Chemistry, and Quantitative Analysis.
- Minor Physics
- The minor in physics is generally popular with chemistry, math, and computer science majors. Required courses include General Physics with Calculus I and II, Modern Physics, and Electronics I and II.
