The course is designed for Freshmen Chemistry majors in order to help them develop the skills required to succeed as a science major and get the most out of their college experience. Students will be introduced to the Chemistry faculty and staff, current chemistry majors and the department facilities in addition to career options and campus resources. A major emphasis will be focused on effective learning styles and study skills.

Introductory course for non-science majors only. Chemical aspects of the collection, preparation, storage, cooking, and consumption of food. Not applicable toward a major or minor in Chemistry.

Introductory course for non-science majors; emphasis in practical aspects of chemistry in everyday life. Topics include nuclear chemistry, foods, gardening, pest control, health chemistry, and home products. Not applicable toward a major or minor in Chemistry.

Basic chemical principles are presented, emphasizing their relationship to environmental problems. The course considers the chemical nature of various substances and their impact on the environment. This course focuses on the innovative and creative processes scientists use to address these issues. Students are provided with a creative opportunity for addressing these issues as citizens.

An introduction to chemical principles, emphasizing formulas, equations, bonding, atomic structure, nomenclature, periodic properties, and chemical calculations. Intended for students who have not taken chemistry in high school and/or who plan to take CHEM 115-116 but feel unprepared to do so. Not applicable toward a major or minor in Chemistry.

Nuclear, electronic, and molecular composition and structure and principles of chemical bonding used to describe nature and reactivity of atoms, ions, and molecules. Includes laws governing behavior of gases, liquids, and solids.

Continuation of CHEM 115. Thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, chemical equilibrium, properties of acids and bases, aqueous solutions, electrochemistry, and nuclear chemistry.

Some fundamental principles in experimental investigation of chemical substances and phenomena. Includes consideration of chemical and physical properties and typical reactions of inorganic and organic compounds. Equilibria, thermochemistry, oxidation-reduction, rates of chemical reactions, and volumetric, gravimetric, and qualitative analysis investigated. One laboratory period per week.

Directed studies designed to foster independence of thought and improve laboratory technique. Emphasis on quantitative determinations by acid-base, complexation, and spectroscopic methods. Open to Chemistry majors and others by permission of department. One laboratory period per week.

The aim of the introductory course is to increase student understanding of how scientists think and work. Discussions will focus on the hows, whys, scope, and limits of today's scientific methodology. It will also explore famous experiments from the history of science, including those described by Galileo, Newton, Cavendish, and Young. The course fulfills one of the Part 7 Natural Sciences requirements of the College Core Curriculum, but is not applicable toward a major or minor in Chemistry.

Examines the role of science in Western European culture from roughly 1540-1905. Focuses mainly on the lives and the scientific and cultural contributions of six revolutionary figures of science: Copernicus, Galileo, Newton, Lavosier, Darwin, and Einstein.

Topics of special or current interest or need and offered periodically.
