30 courses with the subject CHEM, 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.
CHEM 100Chemistry in Today's Society3
(3 one-hour lectures weekly) Selected areas of chemistry designed to enable the student to understand better the role of chemistry and technology in modern society. The course will examine such areas as polymers, and their role in everyday products; acids and bases in household products; radioactivity, its use and abuse; and petrochemicals, energy and other uses. Open only to students with no college chemistry credit.

The course will examine such areas as polymers, and their role in everyday products; acids and bases in household products; radioactivity, its use and abuse; and petrochemicals, energy and other uses. This course also includes a laboratory component where students will explore and apply chemical concepts in a laboratory setting. Open only to students with no college chemistry credit.
An introduction to those basic principles and facts needed for an understanding of the chemistry of the human body, in particular, and of life systems, in general. This course is designed primarily for nursing majors or persons in the humanities or social sciences who are interested in health-related topics and who desire a broader survey of chemistry than is usually provided by a traditional chemistry course. Major areas include some background principles that apply to all chemistry, some background chemistry of carbon compounds (organic), and the fundamentals of human biochemistry.
Basic principles and calculations of chemistry. Topics include major reaction types, reaction stoichiometry, thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, atomic and molecular structure and properties, chemical equilibrium, electrochemistry, and selected topics in descriptive inorganic chemistry. The main emphasis is on problem solving and the interpretive application of principles.
Students perform weekly laboratory experiments to explore and apply concepts covered in the lecture component of the course. Passing grades in CHEM 107L and CHEM 108L are required for completion of CHEM 107 and 108.

This course is designed for students who have a strong high school chemistry background, and will consolidate the more challenging aspects of CHEM 107 and CHEM 108. It therefore satisfies the CHEM 107/CHEM 108 prerequisite for enrollment in upper level science courses, and is not open to students who already have completed those courses. Topics include atomic and molecular structure, stoichiometry, thermodynamics, equilibrium, and kinetics. Prerequisites: high school chemistry, three years of high school mathematics and permission of the Department of Chemistry.
A study of the preparation and properties of the compounds of carbon. Modern theories are used to interpret structures and reactions. Corequisites: CHEM 201L, CHEM 202L. Prerequisites: CHEM 107 and CHEM 108, or CHEM 109; CHEM 201 is prerequisite for CHEM 202.
Students perform weekly laboratory experiments to explore and apply concepts covered in the lecture component of the course. A passing grade in CHEM 201L and CHEM 202L is required for completion of CHEM 201 and CHEM 202.

Analytical Chemistry is a study of the art and science of determining the presence and concentration of chemical compounds in diverse samples. This course covers the modern practice of analytical chemistry.
Students perform weekly laboratory experiments to explore and apply concepts covered in the lecture component of the course. A passing grade in CHEM 203L is required for completion of CHEM 203.
This course focuses on the chemistry of the elements, including electronic structure, bonding and molecular structure, ionic solids, coordination compounds, the origins of the elements, and the descriptive chemistry of the elements. Topics also include inorganic synthesis, materials science, industrial chemistry, and an introduction to bioinorganic chemistry.
Students perform weekly laboratory experiments to explore and apply concepts covered in the lecture component of the course. A passing grade in CHEM 210L is required for completion of CHEM 210.
Advanced theories, laws and principles of chemistry. The course will include thermodynamics, electrochemistry, molecular structure, kinetics and spectroscopy.
Students perform weekly laboratory experiments to explore and apply concepts covered in the lecture component of the course. A passing grade in CHEM 303L and 304L is required for completion of CHEM 303 and CHEM 304.

Students perform weekly laboratory experiments to explore and apply concepts covered in the lecture component of the course. A passing grade in CHEM 303L and 304L is required for completion of CHEM 303 and 304.
This course is designed to give each student a basis for understanding and beginning the planning process to perform a senior research project. Should be taken before CHEM 490, BIOC 490, or ENCH 490.
(5 seven-hour labs weekly, January Term) A full time research course. Each student shall work full time on a laboratory research project at the junior level, developed in collaboration with a member of the chemistry faculty, or a person approved by the chemistry faculty, at some outside research agency. The project includes laboratory work, reading and oral reports on papers in the primary chemical literature, oral and written reports on the work done.
Advanced Organic Chemistry will focus on subjects including retrosynthetic analysis, multistep mechanisms, and polymeric materials. Students will draw upon their previous physical and synthetic organic chemistry experience to investigate complex problems associated with current industrial and medicinal chemistry.
The theory and use of modern instrumentation in analytical chemistry. Topics include methods based upon absorption of electromagnetic radiation, chromatographic separations and mass spectrometry. Laboratory emphasizes hands-on use of analytical instrumentation.
Students perform weekly laboratory experiments to explore and apply concepts covered in the lecture component of the course. A passing grade in CHEM 404L is required for completion of CHEM 404.
A full-time, year-long research course. Each student shall work full time on a senior-level laboratory research project developed in collaboration with a member of the chemistry faculty. Three semesters, 1-4 credits per semester. (Fall term 1 cr., January term 4 cr, Spring term 1 cr)
