Catalog description: An active, modern program of chemical education at the undergraduate level must do more than simply train professional chemists. Chemistry, the central science, is an important component of many disciplines and should be accessible to all students seeking a liberal education. The chemistry department contributes actively to increasing the level of scientific literacy of all students. The program serves all students by recognizing different needs, interests, and career goals. <no change>

Description: Students admitted to the University Honors Program (UHP) must fulfill UHP requirements in addition to degree program requirements.  Honors courses used to fulfill degree program requirements will also fulfill UHP requirements.
Current departmental honors course offerings are listed at: http://www.honors.umn.edu/academics/curriculum/dept_courses_current.html
Honors students complete an honors thesis project in the final year, most often in conjunction with an honors thesis course, or with an honors directed studies or honors directed research course. Students select honors courses and plan for a thesis project in consultation with their UHP adviser and their departmental faculty adviser.
