This section outlines the specific requirements for every program in the College of Arts and Sciences that begin with the letters C and D.
See Biological Science or Environmental and Plant Biology
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 $45 breakage and supplies card, the unused portion of which will be refunded.

The department offers courses in Greek, Latin, classical archaeology (CLAR), classics texts in translation (CLAS), and world religions (CLWR). Although there is no specific major in archaeology or classics in English, the Classical Civilization major offers the opportunity to concentrate in either area. The World Religions major also ofers a wide choide of coursework upon which to build an individual course of study. In the Courses of Instruction section, look under Classics and World Religions for Classical Archaeology, Classics in English; and World Religions; 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 10 week fall program in Rome taught jointly by Classics and the Department of Modern Languages. The program in Greece is geared toward intermediate-level students of Greek. While in Greece, you will visit archaeological and historical sites and learn Modern Greek as you continue your study of ancient Greek texts. The program in Rome focuses on the city itself through archaeological survey of the monuments and the analysis of history and literature from the perspective of social history.

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 216 hours from 300-400 level CLAS, CLAR, HIST 329B,C, 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.
