Majors, Minors, and Certificate Programs
This section outlines the specific requirements for every program in the College of Arts and Sciences that begin with the letters C and D.
Chemistry
Upon completing the requirements for the B.S. degree with a major in chemistry, you are eligible for professional status in the American Chemical Society. Completion of a B.A. degree in chemistry does not qualify you for certification.You may obtain state certification to teach high school chemistry by completing the B.A. or B.S. degree program as well as the professional education and general education courses described in the College of Education section. Maintain contact with your Department of Chemistry advisor and request information concerning certification requirements from the College of Education, McCracken Hall 124. Certification to teach high-school chemistry through a B.S.Ed. program with a major or minor in chemistry, as described in the College of Education section, is also possible.
Foreign language requirements should be met with German or Russian. Graduate schools generally require a reading knowledge of one or more foreign languages, with German and/or Russian recommended. Details of Ohio University's M.S. and Ph.D. programs are given in the Graduate Catalog.
All chemistry laboratory courses require a $20 breakage and supplies card, the unused portion of which will be refunded.
Completion of the B.A. or B.S. degree requirements automatically completes the requirement of the College of Arts and Sciences for at least nine hours in the major at the junior-senior level.

Chemistry-Prepharmacy Major (nondegree)
Special curriculum; major code ND3313
Transfer to a school of pharmacy occurs after one or two years of coursework at Ohio Universitysome schools expect transfer after one year, some require two, and some allow either option. Requirements for admission vary widely. Determine as early as possible the specific admission requirements of the schools to which you may apply and plan your academic program accordingly.The program listed below is based upon the requirements of the four pharmacy schools in Ohio, but other schools may vary in their requirements. Again, it is your responsibility to ensure that you meet the admission standards for a particular school. Consult your advisor for assistance.
The prepharmacy program is not a degree program; a degree in pharmacy is earned upon transfer to an appropriate professional school. However, accomplishment of the following, plus additional requirements as outlined under departmental requirements, can lead to a B.A. or B.S. degree in chemistry. There is no in absentia arrangement for pharmacy.
Unless otherwise indicated, BIOS/MICR departmental courses may be retaken only once.

Social sciences and humanities electives.
Classics
The B.A. degree in classics includes four possible tracks reflecting the range of interests in the field. Each track requires a different balance of study in classics (Greek and Latin) and classical civilization.The department offers courses in Greek, Latin, classical archaeology (CLAR), and classics texts in translation (CLAS). Although there is no specific major in archaeology or classics in English, the Classical Civilization major offers the opportunity to concentrate in either area. In the Courses of Instruction section, look under Classics for Classical Archaeology and Classics in English; and look under Foreign Languages and Literature for courses in Greek and Latin.
The department offers two study-abroad programs in alternate years, a 10 week spring program in Greece, and a 3 week winter intersession program in Rome. The program in Greece is geared toward intermediate-level students of Greek. While inGreece, you will visit archaeological and historical sites and learn Modern Greek as you continue your study of ancient Greek texts. The winter intersession in Rome is an intensive archaeological survey of the growth of Roman civilization through the on-site examination of monuments and artifacts.
Classical Civilization Major (B.A.)
The Classical Civilization major consists of: completion of the Latin or Greek language sequence through 213, and a minimum of 48 hours of coursework, including a senior research project. This would include: A. A minimum of 20 hours of coursework from 200 level CLAS and CLAR courses (CLAS 227 not eligible), and/or 300-400 level LAT and GK courses . Of the 20 hours, 12 must be from 3 of the following courses:
Major code BA5214CLAS 252 Classical Athens 4 CLAS 254 Rome under the Caesars 4 CLAR 211 Greek Archaeology 4 CLAR 212 Roman Archaeology 4B. A minimum of 20 hours from 300-400 level CLAS, CLAR, LAT and/or GK courses.
C. 8-10 hours from extadepartmental courses approved in consultation with a Classics faculty advisor in connection with the student's approved course of study.
Classical Civilization Minor
The Classical Civilization minor requires a minimum of 28 hours of coursework in Classics above the 100 level, including:
Minor code OR5214A. A minimum of 16 hours of coursework from 200 level CLAS and CLAR courses (CLAS 227 not eligible), and/or 200 level LAT or GK courses, including one of the following courses in Greek culture:
CLAS 252 Classical Athens 4 CLAR 211 Greek Archaeology 4and one of the following courses in Roman culture:
CLAS 254 Rome under the Caesars 4 CLAR 212 Roman Archaeology 4
B. A minimum of 12 hours from 300-400 level CLAS and CLAR courses. No knowledge of the Greek or Latin languages is required for the Classical Civilization minor.
