This section outlines the specific requirements for every program in the College of Arts and Sciences that begin with the letters C and D.
Due to changes in standards for teacher licensure in the State of Ohio, the current program in chemistry is subject to change. If you are interested in becoming licensed to teach chemistry at the secondary level, contact the Office of Student Services in the College of Education.
Foreign language requirements should be met with German or Russian. Graduate schools generally require a reading knowledge of one or more foreign languages, with German and/or Russian recommended. Details of Ohio University's M.S. and Ph.D. programs are given in the Graduate Catalog .
All chemistry laboratory courses require a $20 breakage and supplies card, the unused portion of which will be refunded.
Completion of the B.A. or B.S. degree requirements automatically completes the requirement of the College of Arts and Sciences for at least nine hours in the major at the junior-senior level.

Additional required courses to be admitted into a Doctor of Pharmacy program: INCO 101, Interpersonal Communications; and ECON 103, Principals of Microeconomics. It is suggested that these courses be taken during either the junior or senior year.
The department offers courses in Greek, Latin, classical archaeology (CLAR), and classics texts in translation (CLAS). Although there is no specific major in archaeology or classics in English, the Classical Civilization major offers the opportunity to concentrate in either area. In the Courses of Instruction section, look under Classics for Classical Archaeology and Classics in English; and look under Foreign Languages and Literature for courses in Greek and Latin.
The department offers two study-abroad programs in alternate years, a 10 week spring program in Greece, and a 3 week winter intersession program in Rome. The program in Greece is geared toward intermediate-level students of Greek. While inGreece, you will visit archaeological and historical sites and learn Modern Greek as you continue your study of ancient Greek texts. The winter intersession in Rome is an intensive archaeological survey of the growth of Roman civilization through the on-site examination of monuments and artifacts.
A. A minimum of 20 hours of coursework from 200 level CLAS and CLAR courses (CLAS 227 not eligible), and/or 300-400 level LAT and GK courses. Of the 20 hours, 12 must be from 3 of the following courses:
CLAS 252 Classical Athens 4 CLAS 254 Rome under the Caesars 4 CLAR 211 Greek Archaeology 4 CLAR 212 Roman Archaeology 4
B. A minimum of 20 hours from 300-400 level CLAS, CLAR, LAT and/or GK courses.
C. 8-10 hours from extadepartmental courses approved in consultation with a Classics faculty advisor in connection with the student's approved course of study.
A. A minimum of 16 hours of coursework from 200 level CLAS and CLAR courses (CLAS 227 not eligible), and/or 200 level LAT or GK courses, including one of the following courses in Greek culture:
CLAS 252 Classical Athens 4 CLAR 211 Greek Archaeology 4and one of the following courses in Roman culture:
CLAS 254 Rome under the Caesars 4 CLAR 212 Roman Archaeology 4
B. A minimum of 12 hours from 300-400 level CLAS and CLAR courses. No knowledge of the Greek or Latin languages is required for the Classical Civilization minor.
