Art Conservation and Chemistry Dual Major

Foundational courses

Four or five courses in Art History and Chemistry as follows:

1. One course in Art History
2. General Chemistry (one or two courses):

• CHEM014L KS   and CHEM015L KS  ; or
• CHEM042L KS   and CHEM014L KS  ; or
• CHEM029L KS;

3. Two courses in Organic Chemistry:

• CHEM116L KS  and
• CHEM117L KS  

Upper Division Core courses

Upper Division Core: Seven courses in Art History and related disciplines, plus four Chemistry courses.

• Art History – two courses
• Archaeology – one course
• Anthropology – one course
• Art Conservation – one course
• Studio Art – Two courses; one in two-dimensional art; one in three-dimensional art
• Either CHEM126L KS   or CHEM127L KS   Advanced Lab in Chemistry

• CHEM128 KS  Inorganic Chemistry
  
  *Note – MATH031 SC  Calculus II and PHYS031L KS   or PHYS034L KS   are co-required for CHEM121 KS   and CHEM122 KS   

Senior Thesis requirement

Art Conservation+Chemistry dual majors may complete a one- or two-semester senior thesis.

• One- or two-semester thesis that combines chemistry and art conservation: ARHI191 SC   or CHEM188L KS  / CHEM190L KS , or CHEM189L KS  / CHEM190L KS , or CHEM191 KS .  For more information, see “Senior Thesis in Science.”

Honors Requirements (All Tracks, where applicable)

To be considered for departmental honors in one of the science majors, a student must:

• Achieve a minimum grade point average of 3.67 in courses in the major.  
• Achieve a minimum grade of A- on the thesis.
• Complete a one- or two-semester thesis project in which the student has demonstrated excellence by making a significant contribution to the progress of the research and by producing a thesis document judged to be of honors quality by the department.
• Present an oral progress report at the end of the first semester of a two-semester thesis and a poster at the conclusion of either a one- or two-semester thesis in which the student clearly explains the rationale for the project and the conclusions drawn, engages the listener, and knowledgeably answers questions.
• Attend at least six scientific seminars during the semester (each semester for a two-semester thesis) and submit a brief and clear summary of each.
