COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

C3#i=UO-ii;d Professor: Rynd Associate Professor: Lin Instructor: Johnson OBJECTIVES

COURSES (Chemistry and Biochemistry) 091 Basic Chemistry A(2) This course is designed for students planning to enroll in Chemistry I 12 (Principles of Organic and Biochem­ istry) but who did not have high school chemistry or did not score sufficiently well on the Chemistry Placement Exam. Offered in the fall. Units do not count toward graduation requirements. 092 Basic Chemistry B(2) This course is designed for students planning to enroll in Chemistry 105 (General Chemistry) but who did not have a Math SAT of 550 or did not pass the Chemistry Placement Exam. Offered in the spring. Units do not count toward graduation requirements. 100 The Material World (3) The basic principles of chemistry for the non-science major. Uses materials of modern society as a theme for exploring the properties and structure of matter as we ll as the methods and consequences of transforming natural resources to consumer products. 105, 106 General Chemistry I, II (4,4) Principles and theories of the structure and properties of matter. Chemistry I05 includes stoichiometry, atomic theory, the periodic table, chemical bonding, molecular structure, nomenclature, chemical reactions, states of matter, gas laws and solutions. Prerequisites for 105: high school chemistry or Chemistry 092, two years of high school algebra and a passing grade on the Chemistry Place­ ment Exam or a Math SAT of at least 550. Chemistry 106 includes chemical kinetics, equilibrium, thermodynamics,

unit module, with the student spending six weeks in a crosscultural setting. The Study may include seminars, an intern­ ship in a for-profit or non-profit enter­ prise and opportunities for visits to areas of interest. A business faculty member will oversee the field study. 620 Independent Study (1-4) In-depth investigation of a topic under the guidance of the faculty, using standard research procedures. Topic selection and course enroll­ ment by advisor 's approval. 625 Seminars (1-3) May be repeated with different topics including international development, regional issues, or specializations in international business concerns. Business Foundations Coursework Graduau students without a businLSS degru background may be Tl!quiTl!d to take the folluwing additional 4 units of intro­ ductory busintSs and accounting courses. These = leveling courns, which will not count toward the master's degru. 504 Prlnclples of Accounting and Finance (3) An introduction to financial and man­ agerial accounting. The course includes a review of financial state­ ments and their use. Reviews some of the basic terminology related to finan­ cial statements - both their general overview and their specific line items. In addition, issues will be examined surrounding financial statement analysis, (short-term) working capital management, (long-term) capital bud­ geting, and other selected, managerial and investment, topics. Prerequisite: Principles of Accounting. For MA !CS students only. 508 Principles of Management and Marketing (3) Introduction to the basic functions of management with a focus on the goals and structure of organizations, feed­ back and control, change and innova­ tion, organizational decision making, and managing in Christian love . Introduction to, and evaluation of, the fundamental elements of modern marketing with an emphasis on the marketing environmental framework and the ethical use of marketing mix variables. For MA !CS students only. For more details, see the School of lntercultural Studies about the M.A.!. C.S. in International BusintSs.

Biockmistry is the study of the chem­ istry of living rystmis. This interdisciplinary program draws upon biology and chemistry. OBJECTIVES The major is designed especially for those students planning a career in the health professions. The require­ men ts for schools of medicine, phar­ macy, dentistry and medical technology are met within this major. This pro­ gram also prepares one for graduate school in a variety of bioscience pro­ grams. There are excellent opportuni­ ties for careers in biotechnical, pharma­ ceutical and environmental related businesses and governmental agencies. DEGREE PROGRAM A Badielur of Scima dtgrtt in Biochem­ istry is offered upon completion of the university baccalaureate and major requirements. The biochemistry major consists of 65 units of chemistry, biol­ ogy, physics and math courses . Required lower division (28 units) are: Chemistry 105, 106; Biology Ill, 112; Physics 111, 112 or 132, 233; Math 105. Required upper division (25 units) are: Chemistry 301,302,350, 422AB; Biology 312, 411 , 412; Physical Science 460 (or Biology 470). Electives (12 units, of which 8 must be upper division) are: Chemistry 420, 480; Biology 281, 282, 322,342; Physics 234, 321, 450. Nott: The grnerrii tducation ~imnent fur mathematics and scitna is met wilhin this majur. The foreign language ~iTl!­ ment is met by two ye= in high school or four units of colkgt foreign language.

While primarily providing service courses for other programs, the depart­ ment does offer two programs with chemistry as the major component. These are Biochemistry and Physical Science with a chemistry emphasis. Since chemistry is the study of mat­ ter and the changes it undergoes, sequences of courses are designed to meet the needs of students as they pre­ pare for a variety of different majors that require an understanding of the nature of matter. The objective of these cow-ses is to provide the student with a basic understanding of the laws of theories of chemistry such that the student will be able (I) to explain the basic ph~cal and chemical properties of matter in terms of its structure, (2) to do quantitative prob­ lem solving, (3) to gain some level of pro­ ficiency in laboratory methodology, and (4) to be acquainted with basic resource material in chemistry. DEGREE PROGRAM A BachelOT of Scitna degru in Physi­ cal Scitna with a Chemistry emphasis is offered. The requirements for this major are given under the Physical Science Department. The Biochem­ istry Program is given below. MINOR A Oiemistry Minor requires the com­ pletion of 'l7 units, including the follow­ ing courses:Chemistry 105, 106, 301, 302, 350. Six distinct chemistry minor units apart from any other major or minor.
