CH 110 Science in Society: Modern Topics in Chemistry | This introductory course presents chemistry to nonmajors in the context of significant social, political, economic, and ethical issues. This course covers current topics like ozone depletion, global climate change, alternative energy sources, nuclear power, drug design, and the underlying chemical principles needed to understand these issues. Upon successful completion of CH 110, students will be capable of making informed decisions about many of the issues prevalent in modern society based on fundamental concepts in chemistry. This course fulfills the Natural Science General Education requirement. |
CH 140 College Chemistry I | The course is designed for students majoring in the sciences and considering careers in the professional sciences, biomedical, environmental, and academic areas. CH 140 is the first of a two-semester sequence of College Chemistry courses. This course will examine topics in chemistry, including measurements, calculations, classification and properties of matter, changes in matter, the structure of matter, chemical nomenclature, the quantitative composition of matter, chemical reactions, and some quantitative relationships related to the chemical change. The required laboratory component will allow students for the hands-on exploration of concepts covered in the lecture. This course fulfills the Natural Science General Education requirement. |
CH 140L College Chemistry I Lab | This is a required lab course for CH 140. Biology and FS/Lab majors must take the lab concurrently with CH 140. |
CH 141 College Chemistry II | The course is designed for students majoring in the sciences and considering careers in the professional sciences, biomedical, environmental, and academic areas. CH 141 is the continuation of a two-semester sequence of College Chemistry courses. This course will examine topics in chemistry, including liquids, solids, bonding, solutions, acids, bases, chemical equilibrium, REDOX, nuclear chemistry, organic chemistry, and biochemistry. The required laboratory component will allow students for the hands-on exploration of concepts covered in the lecture. This course fulfills the Natural Science General Education requirement. |
CH 141L College Chemistry II Lab | This is a required lab course for CH 141. Biology and FS/Lab majors must take the lab concurrently with CH 141. |
CH 311 Organic Chemistry I | Organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon compounds. This course will emphasize what makes organic chemistry unique within the branches of chemistry and carbon compounds different from other compounds. CH 311 is the first of a two-semester sequence of Organic Chemistry courses. The course discusses the concepts of structure and bonding in organic molecules. It explores various organic molecules and their reactions, such as alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alkyl halides, and carbonyl compounds. An additional laboratory will provide students an opportunity for hands-on exploration of topics covered in lectures and introduce techniques and procedures commonly used by chemists to probe the structure of organic molecules, such as nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectroscopy, and infrared spectroscopy. |
CH 311L Organic Chemistry I Lab | This is a required lab course for CH 311. Biology and FS/Lab majors must take the lab concurrently with CH 311. |
CH 313 Organic Chemistry II | Organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon compounds. CH 313 is the continuation of a two-semester sequence of Organic Chemistry courses. It will build upon the concepts learned in CH 311 by thinking about structures in 3-dimensions and analyzing data to understand the basic principles to solve problems. The course covers the concepts of organic reactions and mechanisms. An additional laboratory will provide students an opportunity for hands-on exploration of topics covered in lectures and introduce techniques and procedures commonly used by chemists, such as condensation and nitration. |
CH 313L Organic Chemistry II Lab | This is a required lab course for CH 313. Biology and FS/Lab majors must take the lab concurrently with CH 313. |
