This section outlines the specific requirements for every program in the College of Arts and Sciences that begin with the letters C and D.
Biology
See Biological Science or Environmental and Plant Biology
Chemistry and Biochemistry
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.Due to changes in standards for teacher licensure in the State of Ohio, the current program in chemistry is subject to change. If you are interested in becoming licensed to teach chemistry at the secondary level, contact the Office of Student Services in the College of Education.
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 $45 breakage and supplies card, the unused portion of which will be refunded.

Classics and World Religions
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 B.A. degree in World Religions incorporates several distinct emphasis areas reflecting the modern range of interest iin the field.The department offers courses in Greek, Latin, classical archaeology (CLAR), classics texts in translation (CLAS), and world religions (CLWR). Although there is no specific major in archaeology or classics in English, the Classical Civilization major offers the opportunity to concentrate in either area. The World Religions major also ofers a wide choide of coursework upon which to build an individual course of study. In the Courses of Instruction section, look under Classics and World Religions for Classical Archaeology, Classics in English; and World Religions; 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 10 week fall program in Rome taught jointly by Classics and the Department of Modern Languages. The program in Greece is geared toward intermediate-level students of Greek. While in Greece, you will visit archaeological and historical sites and learn Modern Greek as you continue your study of ancient Greek texts. The program in Rome focuses on the city itself through archaeological survey of the monuments and the analysis of history and literature from the perspective of social history.
