Certificate
in Chemistry Education
Program Objectives
In keeping with the
mission of The University of Texas at Arlington to provide lifelong learning
opportunities, the Chemistry & Biochemistry Department has created a Graduate Certificate in
Chemistry Education. The purpose of
this certificate is to provide teaching professionals with graduate instruction
in Chemistry as a means of maintaining and promoting their professional
development. The certificate provides a
post-baccalaureate educational opportunity to teachers that is narrower in
scope, and shorter in duration, than its associated graduate degree
program.
Admission Requirements
The terms of admission
allow participants to take the specific courses approved for the certificate
program. Under these rules, students
are admitted as non-degree or special students. They are not allowed to take courses outside
of their program.
Any student that later
seeks a graduate degree in the MA program may apply 9 to12 hours of course work
toward that program if done within 6 years of completion of the certificate by
petitioning the Graduate School through her/his prospective academic department
Students must maintain an
overall GPA of 3.0 for all courses completed in order to receive the
Certificate.
Requirements for the Certificate
The Certificate in
Chemistry requires students to take and successfully complete, Contemporary
Science 5301 plus at least 9 advanced hours in Chemistry with a minimum GPA of
3.0.
The advanced courses
available to participants in the certificate program include:
SCIE 5301 – Contemporary
Science*
CHEM 5355 – Principles of
Chemistry I
CHEM 5356 – Principles of
Chemistry II
CHEM 5358 – Laboratory
