lab experience, knowledge of critical

concepts related to chemistry, as well as

analytical computational skills.

IMPARITIVE
COURSES
1)CHM 34200 - Inorganic Chemistry

2)CHM 37300 - Physical Chemistry Chemistry, The Central Science

3)CHM 32100 - Analytical Chemistry I

These courses are important because they

offer the largest range of topics present in

The SDS Code for Chemistry is IER. This is
fitting seeing how in the field of chemistry it is
imperative to be investigative and analytical. A
chemist is constantly approaching new
situations. It is also logical that a chemist would
posses persuasive enterprising qualities.
Chemists constantly have to prove concepts, and
explain them to others. It is clear that lab work
is hands on work so it is no surprise that
chemists have R in their Holland Code.
