CONSORTIUM COURSES
The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga maintains a formal affiliation arrangement with the Gulf Coast Research Laboratory (GCRL) in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. Through this arrangement, our students may take field courses in marine science at GCRL during the summer. Credits for these courses are awarded through the University of Southern Mississippi and will be accepted as transfer credit at The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. The following is a list of courses taught at GCRL, their level (undergraduate or graduate), and the semester hours credit. Not all course are offered each year.
Marine Science I: Oceanography (U) 5 hours.
Marine Science II: Marine Biology (U) 5 hours.

Chemistry
UC Foundation Professor Gail M. Meyer, Head
The program in Chemistry at UTC is designed to prepare students for careers in chemistry, biochemistry, medicine, dentistry and pharmacy. The chemistry curriculum provides programs leading to either the B.A. Chemistry degree or the B.S. Chemistry degree. The B.A. program emphasizes the liberal arts with specialization in chemistry. Students wishing to develop a broad background in chemistry while earning a minor in a related field should select the B.A. Chemistry degree. The B.S. program provides more extensive coursework in chemistry, physics and mathematics, and is recommended for students pursuing professional careers in chemistry or biochemistry. Within the B.S. Chemistry degree a student must select one of two concentrations: (1) Chemistry Concentration, or (2) Biochemistry Concentration. The B.S. Chemistry program is approved by the Committee on Professional Training of the American Chemical Society. The department also offers a minor in chemistry.
Preprofessional programs in dentistry, medical technology, medicine, cytotechnology, dental hygiene, pharmacy, and veterinary medicine are described in the Preprofessional Programs section of the catalog.
