1. prepare graduating chemistry majors for advanced study in graduate school or to qualify them directly for industrial positions,
    

2. provide professional training to enhance application for admission to medical school,
    

3. offer a preparatory non-degree geology program, and,
    

4. furnish service courses for other departments.
