Abstract

The Committee on Professional Training of the American Chemical Society (ACS) is beginning a major revision of the guidelines it uses for approving programs to offer ACS-certified undergraduate degrees in chemistry. The guidelines include curriculum requirements as well as faculty, staff, and facilities requirements. Changes in both chemistry and education make a careful examination and revision of the guidelines particularly appropriate now. The Committee wants to draw on the opinions of the chemistry community as broadly as possible and seeks responses to a collection of specific questions about the undergraduate chemistry curriculum, as well as general comments about the guidelines.
