12 courses with the subject CHE, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
CHE 130Survey of Chemistry3
SPRING Survey of Chemistry lecture is a one-semester introduces basic chemical principles for students in health sciences, agriculture, and other non-chemistry majors. Topics include atomic structure, chemical bonding, reactions, states of matter, acids and bases, and stoichiometry and equilibrium. The course emphasizes conceptual understanding and practical applications of chemistry in everyday life and allied health fields. This course is intended for those students needing only one semester of chemistry.
SPRING Survey of Chemistry lab reinforces lecture topics through hands-on experiments focused on fundamental chemical techniques. Lab activities include measuring physical properties, performing chemical reactions, pH testing, solution preparation, and basic qualitative analysis. Students develop laboratory skills, safety awareness, and an understanding of how chemistry applies to real-world situations.
FALL General Chemistry 1 introduces fundamental chemical principles, including atomic structure, chemical bonding, stoichiometry, and the properties of gases, liquids, and solids. Topics cover the periodic table, chemical reactions, thermochemistry, and atomic theory. This course provides the foundational knowledge necessary for advanced study in chemistry and related sciences. This course plus CHE 261L is equivalent to SCI 2451 and SCI 2452 (both must be taken).
CHE 261L and one math if not already taken: MAT 131 or MAT 141 or MAT 243
CHE 261LGeneral Chemistry I Lab1
FALL General Chemistry 1 laboratory offers hands-on experience with experimental techniques and data analysis related to chemical principles. Lab activities include measurement and observation, stoichiometric calculations, gas laws experiments, solution preparation, and qualitative analysis.

SPRING General Chemistry II laboratory emphasizes experimental techniques related to chemical equilibria, kinetics, and thermodynamics. Lab activities include titrations, reaction rate measurements, calorimetry, electrochemical cell construction, and qualitative analysis. Students enhance their skills in data collection, analysis, and scientific communication within a laboratory setting.
FALL Organic Chemistry 1 introduces the structure, nomenclature, properties, and reactions of hydrocarbons and functional groups such as alcohols, ethers, and alkyl halides. Topics include bonding, stereochemistry, reaction mechanisms, alkenes, AND alkynes. The course emphasizes understanding molecular structure and reactivity fundamental to biological and chemical processes.
FALL Organic Chemistry 1 lab focuses on fundamental techniques such as purification, crystallization, extraction, and basic synthesis of organic compounds. Students perform experiments and data analysis involving identification and characterization of organic molecules using melting point determination and spectroscopy. This hands-on experience develops practical skills essential for organic synthesis and analysis.
SPRING Organic Chemistry II continues with advanced functional groups, reaction mechanisms, and synthesis strategies including carbonyl compounds, amines, and aromatic substitutions. Topics cover nucleophilic addition, substitution, elimination reactions, spectroscopy, and biomolecules such as carbohydrates and lipids.
SPRING Organic Chemistry II lab emphasizes multistep synthesis, purification, and spectroscopic analysis. Experiments involve more complex molecule preparation, reaction monitoring, and structural elucidation. Students refine their laboratory skills and deepen their understanding of organic reaction mechanisms and compound identification.
SPRING Biochemistry explores the chemical processes and molecules that underpin biological systems, focusing on the structure and function of proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates. Topics include enzyme kinetics, metabolic pathways, bioenergetics, and molecular genetics. This course provides a detailed understanding of the molecular basis of life and biochemical regulation.
SPRING Biochemistry lab provides hands-on experience with experimental techniques such as protein purification, enzyme assays, chromatography, and spectrophotometry.
