This course is a survey of basic chemistry topics, including measurements, physical and chemical properties, the periodic table, nomenclature, chemical reactions, atomic and molecular structure, states of matter, and solutions. This course also serves as an introduction to laboratory techniques and chemical laboratory safety with experiments that illustrate typical chemical reactions and the principles covered in the lecture, with a focus on hands-on qualitative and quantitative experiments.

This course is a survey of organic and biochemistry for nursing majors and other allied health fields. Topics include general organic chemistry and biological chemistry as they apply to living systems. The laboratory component will support the course topics including both qualitative and quantitative experiments, and analysis of data.

This course is for biological and health science majors. General, organic, and biological chemistry are studied with an emphasis placed on medical applications. Topics in general chemistry will include the modern view of the atom, molecule structure, chemical formulas, and chemical reactions. Topics in organic chemistry will include hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, amines, and amides. Topics in biochemistry will include carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and metabolism.

This course is an introduction to matter and energy, atomic structure, nomenclature, chemical equations, stoichiometry, gases, thermochemistry, quantum chemistry, bonding, molecular geometry, oxidation-reduction, liquids and solids, and solutions. The laboratory provides the student with experience in applying the principles developed in the lecture component of the course. Quantitative experiments that illustrate the fundamental laws of chemistry are emphasized, including analysis of data and communication of results.

This course presents a detailed study of chemical equilibrium, kinetics, electrochemistry, chemical thermodynamics, and a brief introduction to organic chemistry and nuclear reactions. Laboratory work includes kinetics, equilibrium, electrochemistry, and qualitative analysis.

This course stresses molecular structure, chemical and physical properties, and the preparation of organic compounds with an emphasis on reaction mechanisms, structure determination, synthesis, and applications. In addition, this course covers the utilization of the techniques of experimental organic chemistry, including physical and chemical methods of purification, separation, and structure determination, with an emphasis on synthesis and mechanisms. Spectroscopic techniques for structural elucidation are used extensively in this course.

This course continues the study of organic molecules, including functional groups such as alcohols, carbonyls, carboxylic acids and their derivatives, and amines. Reaction mechanisms, synthesis, and spectroscopic techniques are emphasized. Biomolecules, such as proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids, will form connections between organic chemistry and biochemistry. In addition, this course covers the utilization of the techniques of experimental organic chemistry, including chemical and physical separations, purification, chemical syntheses, extraction methods, and structure determinations, with an emphasis on functional group analysis, reactivity, and mechanisms.

This course offers specialized study opportunities for students who wish to pursue projects not included in the regular curriculum. Students are accepted only by a written project proposal approved by the discipline prior to enrollment.
