Courses Chemistry (CHEM)
CHEM 091 - Basic Chemistry A This course is designed for students planning to enroll in Chemistry 112 (Principles of Organic and Biochemistry) who did not score sufficiently well on the Chemistry Placement Exam. When Offered: Fall. Note(s): Credits do not count toward graduation requirements. A minimum of a “B-” is required to subsequently register in CHEM 112. Credit(s): 2. CHEM 092 - Basic Chemistry B This course is designed for students planning to enroll in Chemistry 105 (General Chemistry) who did not pass the Chemistry Placement Exam. When Offered: Spring. Note(s): Credits do not count toward graduation requirements. A minimum of a “B-” is required to register in CHEM 105. Credit(s): 2. CHEM 100 - The Chemistry of Everyday Life The basic principles of chemistry for the non-science major. Uses the materials of modern society as a theme for exploring the properties and structure of matter as well as the methods and consequences of transforming natural resources to consumer products. Note(s): Approved for General Education science credit. Credit(s): 3. CHEM 104 - Introductory Chemistry This is an introductory course which provides an overview of chemistry and prepares students for their required chemistry courses in majors like nursing, kinesiology, biology, physics, chemistry, and engineering. Topics include scientific units and measurements, the nature and states of matter, atomic theory, chemical bonding, chemical reactions, and chemical interactions. Lecture/Lab Hours: Two hours lecture; one hour recitation, weekly. Note(s): This course does not count towards the degree requirements in majors which need additional chemistry courses. Approved for General Education science credit. Required for students who did not pass the Chemistry Placement Exam, optional for all others. A minimum of a “B-” is required to subsequently register in CHEM 105 or CHEM 112. Credit(s): 2. CHEM 105 - General Chemistry I Principles and theories of the structure and properties of matter including stoichiometry, atomic theory, the periodic table, chemical bonding, molecular structure, nomenclature, chemical reactions, states of matter, gas laws and solutions. Lecture/Lab Hours: Three hours lecture; three hours laboratory;
