29 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 101General Chemistry I3
Credit(s): 3 This course will cover general concepts and theories of chemistry. These topics will include atomic and molecular structure, stoichiometry, reactions in solution, gases, periodic table, covalent bonding/molecular geometry and thermochemistry. Students making a grade below C- in General Chemistry may not continue to CHEM 102 . Learning Outcome(s): Scientific Inquiry Course Level: Undergraduate
Credit(s): 3 A continuation of CHEM 101. Topics will include liquids and solids, solution chemistry, kinetics, chemical equilibrium, acid base reactions, spontaneity and introduction to organic chemistry.
Credit(s): 3 A study of the structure, reactivity and synthesis of several classes of organic compounds including alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, aromatic hydrocarbons, alkyl halides, alcohols and phenols. Stereochemistry of organic compounds will also be covered.
Credit(s): 3 A study of the structure, reactivity and synthesis of several classes of organic compounds including ethers, epoxides, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids and their derivatives and amines. Some of the instrumental techniques used to identify and quantitate organic compounds will be discussed.
Credit(s): 1-8 This course is designed to introduce students to the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHAct) and the field of safety encountered by all employees. Employees need to be aware of the OSHAct in order to design a safe work environment and be able to instruct others on safe working practices. The students in this course will learn how to remain safe in their workplace. Topics to be covered include OSHA, chemical safety (Safety Data Sheets and labeling), proper protective equipment (PPE), testing for hazard exposure, interpretation of standards and chemical disposal methods. This class will be designed with both lecture and labs to reinforce the field of safety. Course Level: Undergraduate
Credit(s): 3 Introduction to biological molecules and their chemistry in living systems. Topics include proteins, enzymes, carbohydrates, metabolism, lipids and nucleic acids.
Credit(s): 2 This course is the laboratory component of CHEM 322. In this laboratory course, students learn how to operate common instruments used in chemistry. This course focuses on giving students hands on experience with the chemistry instrumentation available at Tusculum University and at nearby facilities (Eastman Chemical Company, ETSU, and University of Tennessee, etc.) In addition, students will be required to propose, research, and execute an independent chemistry project during the second half of the course where the results will then be presented to the other science faculty and students.
Credit(s): 3 This course in intended to address specific topics of interest in chemistry. Medicinal Chemistry, Computational Chemistry, Spectroscopy, Kinetics and Reaction Mechanisms are a few examples of possible course offerings. Subject matter may change from year to year based on faculty and student interest.
CHEM 102 and permission of the instructor. Course Level: Undergraduate
CHEM 351Global Topics In Chemistry3
Credit(s): 3 This course is intended to address specific topics of interest in chemistry including medicinal chemistry, natural product synthesis, polymer chemistry, computational chemistry, spectroscopy, kinetics, and reaction mechanisms. This course will also introduce and discuss the global impact of chemistry and particular subject matter in chemistry on society. Subject matter may change from year to year based on faculty and student interest.

CHEM 354Service-Learning In The Natural Sciences3
Credit(s): 3 Students will engage in a variety of service activities within the Greeneville-Greene County area. These activities may involve issues of biological, chemical and environmental significance within the community and/or campus. They will use research-based techniques to help bring about an understanding of an issue. Readings, writing assignments and presentations will help the students learn from their service experiences and enhance their ability to communicate results in a professional manner. Students will prepare a cover letter and a résumé or curriculum vitae for review by the instructor.

CHEM 360Laboratory Practicum1
Credit(s): 1 In Laboratory Practicum, students in the Natural Sciences learn the nuances of laboratory safety, and they are trained in the proper setup and cleanup of labs within their respective disciplines. Advanced students are allowed the opportunity to become peer mentors and may tutor students inside the classroom, prepare and facilitate introductory lectures to laboratories, and/or assist in providing in-class feedback.

CHEM 102 and MATH 190 . Course Level: Undergraduate
CHEM 422LSynthesis And Spectroscopy Lab2
Credit(s): 2 This laboratory course will teach students how to properly characterize chemical compounds using spectroscopy (NMR, IR, UV-Vis, and mass spectroscopy) and electrochemical techniques. In addition, students will learn advanced organic and inorganic synthesis techniques that include air-free synthesis, catalytic processes, chromatographic techniques, and isolation techniques. Students will be required to complete independent projects where they will utilize the scientific literature to propose, design, and execute experimental procedures.
Permission of instructor. Course Level: Undergraduate
CHEM 451Internship And External Research In Chemistry1-3
Credit(s): 1-3 Students will gain experience appropriate to their area of specific interest in the chemistry major by arranging internships in the chemical industry or external summer research in chemistry as approved by Tusculum University chemistry faculty.
12 credit hours in chemistry courses and permission of the instructor. Course Level: Undergraduate
CHEM 490Research1-8
Credit(s): 1-8 Students will work under the mentorship of a natural sciences faculty member to carry out an independent research project. General expectations will include a comprehensive literature review of a topic not covered in the regular curriculum and laboratory work to produce original scientific results. The final product of this course may consist of, but is not limited to, a comprehensive paper or report approved by the faculty mentor. Students will receive the grade of In Progress (IP) for up to one year, until completion of their research.
