Honors in Chemistry

Students are eligible for honors in chemistry at graduation if the following requirements are met: a grade point average ≥ 3.25; an honors caliber written thesis of undergraduate research; and a research presentation at an external scientific meeting. Designation of honors caliber requires the unanimous vote of a three-person evaluation team appointed by the Chemistry Department. The team consists of two Chemistry Department faculty members and one other representative, preferably chosen from another institution or the Research and Development Department of an industrial company.
