Chemistry Post-baccalaureate Certificate
The Post-baccalaureate Chemistry Certificate is designed for
certified teachers already possessing a bachelor's degree
in a scientific area who wish to gain the content knowledge necessary
to teach chemistry. Program courses are an integrated lecture-laboratory
format and include environmental chemistry, experimental design,
computer use, real-life applications, analytical instrument techniques
and lab safety training. The goal of this program is to develop
teachers capable of providing their students with the background
necessary to succeed in college-level courses. After completing
this 19-unit program of study, chemistry may be added as an endorsement
to an existing teaching certification. The courses are designed
to provide teachers with a solid academic background in the principles
of modern chemistry and the background necessary to develop experiments
that may be included in their own courses with the equipment and
chemicals available in their schools. Teachers in this program must
complete 19 units of the required chemistry courses as listed below.
Courses meet in the evenings during the spring and fall terms only
and are not offered in the summer.
Admission Requirements
- A bachelor's degree in any area of science, which must
include one year of General Chemistry with laboratory.
