An internship (1 to 15 credits) can be taken by those students meeting the
internship requirements. Internships typically (but not always) are taken in
the summer prior to the senior year or during one semester of the senior year
(semester 7 or 8). Free electives credits are used for internships. The recom-
mended sequence of courses is adjusted to accommodate internship credits.

This is the recommended course sequence necessary to complete the Bachelor of
Science in Economics degree requirements in eight semesters. The student should
meet with his/her academic advisor for individualized advice on course sequenc-
ing. Academic advisors can only advise; meeting graduation requirements is
the student's responsibility.
Most upper-level (310 or above) department courses are offered only one semes-
ter a year (i.e., either only in the fall semester or only in the spring semester). This
recommended course sequence assumes the odd numbered semesters are fall
semesters and the even numbered semesters are spring semesters.
Many first-semester freshmen are more comfortable taking only 12 semester
hours their first semester in college. This is acceptable and a student still can com-
plete the degree requirements in eight semesters providing he/she adds three
semester hours to a later semester.
Note: Transfer students must complete a minimum of 27 credits in the Business
Administration and Economics Department at Edinboro University.

Unico
The Department of Chemistry offers instruction in chemistry leading to the
Bachelor of Science degree, Chemistry; the Bachelor of Science degree,
Chemistry/Industrial Biochemistry; the Bachelor of Science degree,
Chemistry/Forensic Science; and the Bachelor of Arts, Chemistry. It also offers a
minor in chemistry, supervises students in the Pre-pharmacy transfer program,
and cooperates with the Department of Secondary Education in offering the
Bachelor of Science degree in Secondary Education Chemistry.
The Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry is intended for those who expect to
pursue a graduate degree in chemistry or a related science or to enter business or
industry as a chemist. It also serves as the basis of an excellent pre-medical pro-
gram.
The Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry/Industrial Biochemistry is designed
for those students who desire a career in the biotechnology industry. It is also an
excellent choice as a pre-medical program or for persons interested in pursuing a
graduate degree in biochemistry.
Graduates of the Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry/Forensic Sciences
qualify for entry level positions with the FBI, state police, and crime labs. They
also qualify for positions as trace evidence technicians with various law enforce-
ment agencies. This program provides training in both chemistry and criminal
justice to meet the demands of investigative laboratories. It also provides a strong
foundation to pursue graduate programs in forensic science or chemistry.
The pre-pharmacy program provides the first two years of study toward a doctor
of pharmacy degree. The curriculum was designed in cooperation with the Lake
Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM), but is appropriate for transfer
to most colleges of pharmacy. Because certain schools of pharmacy may require
slight variations from the curriculum, early contact with your pre-pharmacy advi-
sor and your chosen pharmacy school is recommended. Students meeting certain
selective admission requirements may be accepted directly into an accelerated
curriculum at LECOM.
Beginning students who are interested in chemistry but unsure of their specific
career goal should note that there is much similarity in the first year science and
mathematics requirements of the various science, engineering and pre-profession-
al curricula. Careful planning and consultation with an academic advisor will
often allow the choice of a specific program to be deferred into the second year
with no delay in program completion.
