Program Learning Goals. Upon completion of the program students will be able to:
1: Demonstrate foundational chemical principles in theory and in practice. Graduates will exhibit a working knowledge of (i) atoms, (ii) bonding, (iii) structure and function, (iv) intermolecular interactions, (v) reactions, (vi) visualizations, (vii) experiments, measurements, and data, (viii) equilibrium, (ix) kinetics, and (x) energy and thermodynamics.
2: Demonstrate quantitative reasoning skills. Graduates will be able to (i) competently solve quantitative problems, (ii) collect and statistically analyze numerical data, and (iii) employ numerical data to make valid scientific arguments.
3: Effectively participate in scientific communication. Graduates will be able to (i) clearly describe laboratory experiments, (ii) convey experimental results, (iii) engage with scientific literature.
4: Demonstrate competency and independence in the laboratory. Graduates will be able to design, execute, and critically analyze experiments in the laboratory.
5: Articulate a personal perspective relating science and faith. Graduates will (i) engage the academic interface between science and faith and (ii) describe their own journey relating faith and science.
