Subject. (Brief description of proposed change, addition or deletion.)
New Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry with a concentration in Organizational Administration.
Justification. (Briefly list main reasons for proposed change, addition or deletion.)
PNC lacks degree options for students interested in the physical sciences. Demand for such degrees is typically low but
constant, and area employers indicate a need for graduates with a strong background in the physical sciences,
particularly if those graduates also possessed skills that would allow them to function effectively in an industry setting.
By pairing the curriculum recommended by the American Chemical Society (ACS) with coursework leading to a Minor in
Organizational Administration, the proposed degree would be a unique addition to PNC’s offerings. The Commission
has indicated a strong desire for such proposals that will serve the needs of both students and employers in our region.

N/A
Impact on Students. (State “N/A” if proposal will not greatly affect students.)
Provides a unique degree offering – Without this degree, students interested in the physical sciences have had to
transfer elsewhere to complete a degree.
Impact on University Resources. (State “N/A” if proposal will not require new resources, faculty or funds.)
The courses required for the degree are either already being offered or can be covered by current Chemistry faculty.
(Engineering programs have already increased the need for Chemistry faculty, as noted in those degree proposals.)
The courses required for this degree would put no noticeable strain on University laboratory courses or consumable
supplies beyond that already being experienced.
Impact on other Academic Units. (State “N/A” if proposal will not affect other units.)
We would expect small enrollment increases in higher level mathematics and physics courses, but not to an extent that
would exceed current capacity or require additional sections. Students pursuing the minor associated with this degree
can be accommodated in the business courses quite easily. It is not expected that this degree will have a negative
impact on the Secondary Education Degree’s Chemistry Option, since the two programs serve different career paths.

CHEMISTRY
Bachelor of Science in Chemistry (with concentration in Organizational Administration)
In simplest terms, chemistry is the science of matter. Anything that can be touched, tasted, smelled, seen or felt
is made of chemicals. The curriculum in Chemistry is designed to allow students to first learn and then apply
basic chemistry principles to critical practical problems in various fields such as: biochemistry and
pharmaceuticals; environmental chemistry; and, materials and manufacturing. Students begin the curriculum
with a series of chemistry courses complemented by associated study in mathematics and physics. These
courses provide a common knowledge base for all chemistry majors. The curriculum also encourages students
to develop skills needed to succeed in their careers: many chemists find themselves employed in industry, either
in research and development laboratories, quality control for manufacturing centers, or as analytical chemists in
testing laboratories. These employers indicate a need for graduates who possess not just chemistry knowledge,
but also an understanding of basic business principles and corporate operations. To that end, the curriculum
also encourages students to complete a concentration resulting in the Minor in Organizational Administration.

Comments/Notes:
§ MA 16700 or higher (i.e., calculus) and STAT 30100 or higher become requirements for the BS in Chemistry if students
have met the Quantitative Reasoning component of the General Education Core with other courses.
◊ CHM 11500 and CHM 11600 become requirements for the BS in Chemistry if students have met the Natural Science and
Technology component of the General Education Core with other courses.
† Three of the six courses in the “Org Admin Core” (ECON 21000, GBG 25900 and OLS 25200) can be used to satisfy these
General Education Core and Supplemental Core requirements. Students are free to use other courses to satisfy the General
Education requirements, but will still need to complete the entire “Org Admin Core” in order to earn the Minor in
Organizational Administration.
Students transferring into the program with more than 30 credits completed are not expected to complete the First-Year
Experience (GS 19100), but should complete an additional course from either the Humanities or Social Sciences lists.

General Education Core and Supplemental Core requirements. Students should be aware that, by completing all of the courses in the
Organizational Administration Core, they will earn the Minor in Organizational Administration from the College of Business.
