35 courses with the subject CHM, 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.

Three hours of laboratory per week. Lab fees apply. (Offered every odd fall term.)
Instrumental Analysis: A second course in analytical chemistry, covering the theory and operation of electronic instrumentation. Three hours lecture per week.
Physical Chemistry I Laboratory: Introduction to basic methods for precide physical and chemical measurements. Three hours laboratory per week. Lab fee applies. (Offered every even fall term.)
Physical Chemistry II: Application of physical and mathematical principles to chemical systems; quantum mechanics, atomic structure, molecular structure, computational methods, and spectroscopy.
Foundations of Biochemistry: Biochemistry is the field that explores how life works at the level of molecules. Biochemists discover the chemistry of biological processes and apply their knowledge to fight diseases, grow food more efficiently, create new products or technologies, restore the environment, and more. This course gives students basic preparation in biochemistry. Through this course students will be able to explain the structure, function, and energy requirements (thermodynamics) of life's major biomolecules (DNA, RNA, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids) and the major metabolic processes that power life (glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation). Students will gain these skills through a mixture of reflective reading, lecture, in-class problem-solving, guided at-home exercises, and more.
Inorganic Chemistry: A study of the reactions and properties of inorganic elements based on electronic structure and periodic properties.
QUEST Undergraduate Publication Course: This course invites students into the process of professional writing and
Topics in Chemistry: Selected topics offered as supplements to the regular curriculum. May be repeated for credit with different subtitles. Lecture and lab hours may vary with the course taught. Lab fees apply when appropriate. Specific topics will be announced in advance. Examples include inorganic chemistry, instrumental analysis, environmental chemistry, and biomacromolecular chemistry.
Biotechnology Techniques: This course provides the foundation and understanding of various molecular biology and biochemistry techniques through a project based laboratory and a supplemental lecture. One hour of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week.
Topical Chemistry Research: This course engages a group of students in project-based research aligned with the expertise of a faculty member. It delivers a hands-on experience of how to conduct a discipline-specific research investigation. The course is primarily lab-based with supplementary lessons. Students will learn to connect research questions to actions and experiments, gather and assess results, and communicate their findings. May be repeated for credit.
Chemistry Lab Assistant: Practical experience as a laboratory assistant in the department.
Topics: International Preparation: This course examines international experience around the same topic. Open only to students enrolled in the corresponding international experience course. Students must earn a grade of C- or better (an average of 70) in order to participate in CHM 399. The total number of hours for CHM 398 and CHM 399 cannot exceed four total hours.
International Experience: The international experience component of CHM 398. Students will have the opportunity to experience firsthand many of the topics studied in the prerequisite course. The total number of hours for CHM 398 and CHM 399 cannot exceed four total hours.
Biochemistry: A survey of biochemistry. Topics include proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, biotechnology, and metabolism.
Advanced Biochemistry I: Study of macromolecule conformation and function, mechanisms and regulation of enzyme activity, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, lipds and membranes.
Advanced Biochemistry II: The study of the metabolism of biomolecules: the biosynthesis, energetic breakdown, and storage of macromelecules and metabolites.
Environmental Chemistry Laboratory: This laboratory allows students to apply experimental and analytical techniques to help study, describe and solve environmental problems. This is a problem solving courses that will rely on fundamental principles of chemistry including equilibrium, reaction kinetics, solubility, partitioning and computer modeling. Students will learn basic analytical techniques required to analyze compounds in environmental samples including air, water and soil at concentrations as low as part per billion. Lab fee applies. (Offered as needed.)
Advanced Biochemistry: Extends the basic biochemical concepts learned in Foundations of Biochemistry. Students will gain an ability to describe and connect additional biochemical pathways, for example gluconeogenesis, fatty acid metabolism, the pentose phosphate pathway, and nitrogen cycling, and their important molecules (enzymes, cofactors, and pathway intermediates). Students will iillustrate how proteins and nucleic acis bind to themselves or ligands through a thermodynamic lens. The course will also give practical knowledge of select biochemical techniques. These skills will be developed through a mixture of reflective reading, lecture, in-class problem-solving, guided at-home exercises, and more. term.)
Topics in Chemistry: This course provides the opportunity for a faculty member and a group of interested students to study a subject that is not offered on a regular basis in the curriculum. Topics are announced annually. May be repeated for credit under different subtitles.
Advanced Topics in Chemistry: Selected topics offered as supplements to the regular curriculum. May be repeated for credit with different subtitles. Lecture and lab hours may vary with the course taught. Lab fees apply when appropriate. 188
Directed Individual Study: Individual research conducted by the student. Three, six or nine hours of consultation and laboratory work per week.
Chemistry Research: Opportunity for directed and individual investigation in chemistry resulting in a formal report, thesis o manuscript. A research proposal with a proposed budget must be submitted and approved by the department in the prior semester. May be repeated for credit for projects lasting more than one semester.
