研究

安东尼奥·戈多伊，18岁, a science management major, presented at the American Chemical Society’s national meeting. His research — conducted in 化学教授essor 凯萨琳Purvis-Roberts’ lab — helped show the unintended consequences of attempts to cut the carbon emissions of coal-fired power plants.

资源

Pitzer’s chemistry program is offered through the Department of 自然科学, a joint department that serves students from Pitzer and Scripps College. 该系现有专任教师50余人, and places an emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration and research.

必修课程

化学专业至少需要13-15门课程:

CHEM 014L KS -Basic Principles 的化学-CHEM 015L KS -Basic Principles 的化学; or CHEM 029L KS -Accelerated General 化学; 或CHEM 042L KS -综合生物和化学.
化学116lks -有机化学-化学117lks -有机化学
CHEM 121 KS -Principles of Physical 化学-CHEM 122 KS -Principles of Physical 化学
PHYS 033L KS -Principles of Physics-PHYS 034L KS -Principles of Physics; or PHYS 030L KS -PHYS 031L KS -General Physics for the Life Sciences, with permission of adviser; or both semesters of the AISS course
CHEM 126L KS -Advanced Laboratory in 化学-CHEM 127L KS -Advanced Laboratory in 化学
化学128ks -无机化学
化学177 KS -生物化学
选修课:一门化学高级选修课(两节课), 分子生物学, or interdisciplinary electives involving chemical concepts of techniques, 与化学系协商后选择的
Senior Thesis in 化学: chemistry majors must complete one of the following: CHEM 188L KS-CHEM 190L KS, 或CHEM 191 KS. 欲了解更多信息，请参见“理科毕业论文”.”

NOTES: MATH 031 PZ -Calculus II is co-required of CHEM 121 KS and MATH 032 PZ -Calculus III is co-required for CHEM 122 KS. 化学的额外选修课, 数学, physics and computer science are strongly recommended for all chemistry majors.

辅修化学课程包括:

CHEM 014L KS -Basic Principles 的化学-CHEM 015L KS -Basic Principles 的化学 (or CHEM 029L KS -Accelerated General 化学), 或CHEM 042L KS -综合生物和化学, Chem014L KS,
四门高级课程(CHEM 116L KS或更高). The four courses chosen should be chosen in consultation with a member of the chemistry faculty to provide a coherent overall program. Only one course can double-count as a major and a minor requirement.

A combined major in chemistry requires seven upper-division courses, in addition to senior thesis. This reduces the load of a regular chemistry major by two courses.

这七门课程必须包括:

CHEM 116L KS -Organic 化学 and CHEM 117L KS -Organic 化学,
至少一学期的物理化学, CHEM 121 KS -Ppls Phys Chem: Thermochemistry or CHEM 122 KS -Ppls Phys Chem: Quantum Chem
At least one semester of Advanced Laboratory (either CHEM 126L KS or CHEM 127L KS) 化学128ks -无机化学 or 化学177 KS -生物化学.
The remaining elective can consist of either a single upper-division course or two ipper-division half-courses.
All lower-division courses and prerequisites in other disciplines (math, physics) must still be met.
Students completing a chemistry combined major must complete a 1- or 2-semester thesis.
Students completing a combined major in chemistry are not eligibly for the ACS accredited major in chemistry.
