Chemistry deals with the nature of substances and the changes that occur therein. It ranges from the study of the structure of atoms and molecules to that of the reactions occurring in living organisms. The study of chemistry can provide knowledge that will give students a greater understanding and appreciation of the world in which they live. In addition, knowledge of chemistry is a great asset in areas such as biology, physics, and health-related fields. It is a logical basis for pre-medical training, pre-veterinary, prepharmacy, and other allied health professions.
Chemistry Courses for Science Majors
Detailed descriptions of the objectives and prerequisites of each course are available online. The student is urged to consult these descriptions if there is any doubt about requirements or qualifications. Laboratory courses and lecture courses on principles are designed to be mutually reinforcing. The laboratory is the real basis for the science, but the lecture courses are designed to reinforce the learning process. The labs and lectures are separated only to provide added flexibility in scheduling and to meet individual needs, particularly for transfer students. Great care should be exercised in scheduling one-course component without the other.
Chemistry Courses for Non-Science Majors
CHEM 1050 , CHEM 1151K , and CHEM 1152K are of primary interest to students in liberal arts, health sciences, education, business administration, and policy studies. Students in specific programs should consult with an advisor in their program to verify applicability of the above-named courses to their specific needs. These courses cannot be applied to a science degree program in the College of Arts and Sciences.
