Prereq: none
Introductory course in the fundamental laws and principles of chemistry including a study of the properties of elements and their compounds. Three lectures, one laboratory each week. Credit for this course may be obtained by examination.
Prereq: none
Deals with chemistry of compounds of carbon related to foodstuffs, physiological processes, and textiles. Not applicable to a major or minor in Chemistry.
Prereq: none
The first semester of a comprehensive year course in chemistry that includes the principles and theories of modern chemistry. This course is designed for students who need a good theoretical background in chemistry, and it is the prerequisite for advanced chemistry courses. A student should have high school chemistry and/or two years of high school algebra before enrolling in this course. If this is not the case, take CHEM 145 and MATH 112 to prepare for chemistry at this level. Three lectures each week. Credit for this course may be obtained by examination.
Prereq: C grade in CHEM 160GS, CHEM 160LGS or advanced placement
Second semester of the comprehensive year course in chemistry. Three lectures each week.
Prereq: CHEM 161GS or equivalent
A survey of the field of organic chemistry designed primarily for students who do not expect to become chemists or chemical engineers. Covers the same topics as CHEM 360 and 361, but less rigorously. Three lectures, one lab per week. Counts toward chemistry minor.
Prereq: CHEM 161, CHEM 161L, CHEM 250 or CHEM 360, CHEM 360L
This course will cover the three main areas of environmental chemistry; aquatic chemistry, atmospheric chemistry and hazardous waste. Topics will include stratospheric ozone destruction, greenhouse gases, smog formation, and bioaccumulation of halogenated organics. Three credit hours unless offered with laboratory, then four credit hours.
Prereq: C Grade in CHEM 161, CHEM 161L, CHEM 250 or concurrently with CHEM 361, CHEM 361L
Chemistry and metabolism of fats, protein, carbohydrates, hormones, vitamins, and other biologically important compounds. Three lectures, one lab per week. Spring only.
Prereq: C grade in CHEM 161, CHEM 161LGS or equivalent
Taken primarily by chemistry majors and pre-professional students. The foundation for understanding organic reactions is established with considerable emphasis being placed upon bonding, stereochemistry, kinetics, and reaction mechanisms. The chemistry of the alkanes, alkenes, and aromatic compounds is considered with a primary objective of understanding how these reactions occur. Four lectures per week. Fall only.
Prereq: CHEM 161, CHEM 161L
A study of chemical reactions and equilibrium as applied to analysis. The laboratory will cover mainly quantitative analysis. Three lectures, two labs per week.
Prereq: none
The chemistry apprenticeship program is meant to provide meaningful experiences such as teaching and preparation of demonstrations. The apprentice will work mainly with one member of the department whose permission must be obtained before registration.
Prereq: CHEM 351, CHEM 480
This course covers the basic principles of intermediary metabolism and the application of biochemical principles of living systems. Three lectures per week. Spring of even years.
Prereq: CHEM 361, CHEM 361L or parallel and CHEM 480
This course will introduce modern methods used in a research laboratory with emphasis on independent student work. Two lectures, two labs per week. Spring only, odd years.
Prereq: CHEM 250 or CHEM 361, CHEM 361L
A study of topics in a more detailed manner than offered in formal courses with a critical examination and discussion of recent accomplishments of chemical investigations. One hour per week. Spring only.
Prereq: CHEM 361, CHEM 361L and CHEM 480
This course will cover advanced theoretical aspects of organic chemistry. Areas of emphasis will be bonding, spectroscopy, synthesis, and mechanism. Three lectures per week, Fall only, odd years.
Prereq: CHEM 375, CHEM 480 and knowledge of basic physics
The study of modern methods of analysis using chemical instrumentation. Two lectures, two labs per week. Spring only, even years.
Prereq: CHEM 375, MATH 202 and PHYS 205GS
Study of elementary thermodynamics, phase transitions and solutions. Three lectures and one laboratory per week. Fall only.
Prereq: MATH 260, CHEM 480
A continuation of CHEM 480, including the topics of elementary quantum mechanics, spectroscopy and kinetics. Three lectures and one laboratory per week. Spring only.
Prereq: permission of the department
This course will be taken in the last two years of the chemistry major and will emphasize professional development of the individual student.
Prereq: none
Elementary courses necessary for the problems to be undertaken, and permission of instructor. Independent investigations of chemistry problems. Three hours of laboratory work each week for each hour credit.
