Chemistry (BS) at Ohio Dominican University

The secondary education program focuses on the learner and the learning environment in grades 6-12. Requirements include completion of the General Education courses specified for education majors, a major in a teaching field or academic content and content pedagogy courses equivalent to a major in a teaching field, foundations and methods courses in secondary education, and clinical experiences in 6-12 classrooms.

The College of Education offers secondary education majors in the following fields: English, ESL, fine arts (art, dance, music, theatre), world languages (Chinese, French, German, Hawaiian, Ilokano/Filipino, Japanese, Korean, Latin, Russian, Samoan, Spanish), mathematics, science (biology, chemistry, physics, earth science, general science, and physical science), social studies (with concentrations in American studies, anthropology, economics, geography, Hawaiian studies, history, political science, psychology, or sociology).

Secondary education courses are offered in a required sequence that includes both seminar and field-based course work. The majority of education course work for secondary majors is offered and completed in three semesters starting in the spring of the junior year. Two courses (EDEF 310 and EDEP 311) sit outside the required program sequence. These two courses can be taken anytime prior to the final semester (full-time student teaching). The majority of all content-specific course work should be completed prior to beginning education focused course work in the fall of the junior year. If you are interested in earning a concurrent major (i.e., majoring in mathematics and secondary education) please plan a meeting with OSAS early in your academic year to explore a detailed program plan.

On the MChem Chemistry with Study Abroad course, you will spend your third year studying chemistry at a top university in the USA, Canada, Australia or New Zealand. As well as expanding your chemistry knowledge, the Study Abroad course offers an outstanding opportunity to explore the social life and culture of another English-speaking country.

When you return to Sheffield in your fourth year, you will further develop your research skills through advanced lecture topics, and in a research project where you will join a team that is working to make new discoveries in chemistry. The course is accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry, which means that you can acquire a range of skills and knowledge that employers look for as you work independently, in teams and on a range of projects.

Our four-year MChem Chemistry course is the best route for students who are thinking about a career in scientific research.

In the first two years, we focus on the fundamental concepts and skills you need to unlock a wide range of optional modules in third year and explore the latest discoveries in chemistry. In the fourth year you will have an opportunity to develop your research skills through advanced lecture topics, and in a research project where you will join a team that is working to make new discoveries in chemistry.
