Chemistry (CHEM)

CHEM 0900 PRECHEMISTRY (3)

This course is designed primarily for students with a limited background in Chemistry studies. It is beneficial for those needing an introduction to Chemistry or are pursuing a degree a liberal arts and/or non-science majors requiring credit in a physical science course with a laboratory. Students are given an introduction to the fundamental concepts in chemistry; solve basic problems relating to chemical reactions, and a general understanding of the vocabulary, theories, and practices in chemistry. (Previously known as CHM 098)

 

CHEM 0904 PRECHEMISTRY LAB (1)

(Previously known as CHM 099) *Prerequisite/Co-requisite:  MATH 0904 or consent of the instructor.

 

CHEM 1050 APPLIED ENVRIONMENTAL CHEMISTRY & CONSERVATION BIOLOGY (3)

This course provides students with an understanding and appreciation of how the interconnectedness of the natural world functions. Examines the effect of Human on his environment from an atomic, molecular, cellular and macro scale, promotes an increased interest in the natural world, and encourages reexamination of how Human views and subsequently interacts with the world.

 

CHEM 1054 APPLIED ENVRIONMENTAL CHEMISTRY & CONSERVATION BIOLOGY LAB (1)

This lab accompanies CHEM 1050. *Co-requisite CHEM 1050
