| contents | Undergraduate Professional Education in Chemistry: Guidelines and Evaluation Procedures. Chemistry College Science Computer Literacy Core Curriculum Evaluation Methods Higher Education Information Retrieval Program Evaluation Science Curriculum Science Education Science Facilities Science Programs Undergraduate Study Provided are guidelines for evaluating undergraduate professional education in chemistry. The guidelines summarize an approved program as including: 400 hours of classroom work; 500 hours of laboratory work; a core curriculum covering principles of analytical, inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry; 1 year of advanced work in chemistry or allied fields; and 1 year of physics. Review of a department's program also includes evaluation of: faculty size; teaching loads (maximum- 15 contact hours per week); examinations, syllabi, and student research reports; faculty composition; faculty's professional activities; library collection (minimum- 20 subscriptions to refereed journals and access to Chemical Abstracts); facilities and equipment; budget and administrative structure; textbooks; and placement of graduates. Principal changes from the previous (1977) edition of these guidelines are increased emphases on computer literacy, information retrieval, self-instruction programs, and basic inorganic chemistry (reflected by the movement of the advanced inorganic course from the category of Advanced Courses to the Core Curriculum). Guidelines related to actions after evaluation and re-evaluation, probation and withdrawal of program approval, appeals of adverse evaluation decisions, and procedures for complaints are also provided.
