Abstract
Employers expect more from university graduates than the subject knowledge and technical skills of a particular discipline. At the University of New England communication, social responsibility, information literacy and problem solving have been incorporated into the Bachelor of Science, Chemistry major. Defining these attributes specifically for Chemistry students entering an increasingly competitive market place, plus assigning and mapping levels of attainment for the attributes for all units that contribute to the major have achieved this. Any deficiencies in the Chemistry major have been addressed and the attributes publicized in both unit and course materials.
