chemistry for liberal arts with lab
• Prerequisite: MAT 1033
• Co-Requisite: MAT 1033 with permission of instructor
• Satisfies Codes: GENE, LABR, PHYS
A study of the foundations of chemistry including the
principles, laws, theories and their practical applications in
our modern technological world. Theoretical topics include
but are not limited to atomic structure, chemical bonding,
and acid-base behavior. Application topics include energy
sources, chemistry in the kitchen and garden, chemistry of
medicines, environmental chemistry such as pollution, and
consumer marketplace chemistry.

CHM 1025C 5 (3 / 2)
GENERAL CHEMISTRY WITH LAB
• Prerequisite: Eligibility for MAT 1033
• Satisfies Codes: GENE, LABR, PHYS
• Students must complete all college preparatory
reading and composition courses indicated
through placement testing and/or academic
advising prior to enrolling in this course.
An introduction to the elementary aspects of modern chemistry
including the concept of chemistry as an experimental science,
atomic and molecular structure, chemical bonding in solids
and liquids, and properties of gases. The lab component will
provide laboratory support for the lecture material.

CHM 1083 3 (3 / 0)
ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE
• Prerequisite: None
• Satisfies Codes: GENE, PHYS
• Offered Fall Term
A non‑mathematical study of chemistry and it’s practical
applications. Topics include atomic structure, chemical
bonding, acid base behavior, energy sources, pollution, and
consumer chemistry.

CHM 1205C 4 (3 / 1)
GENERAL ORGANIC chemistry & BIOCHEMISTRY
with lab
• Prerequisites: CHM 1025C
• Satisfies Codes: GENE, LABR, PHYS
This course is primarily designed to provide students planning
a career in the health related fields or in the life sciences with
an introduction to organic and biochemistry. Major emphasis
will be on the nomenclature, preparation, and reactions of
the functional groups. In addition, this course should serve
as a valuable introduction for those who will later require a
year‑long sequence of organic chemistry.

CHM 2045C 5 (3 / 3)
COLLEGE CHEMISTRY I with lab
• Prerequisites: CHM 1025C or A in high school
chemistry, eligibility for MAC 1105
• Satisfies Codes: GENE, LABR, PHYS
• Students must complete all college preparatory
reading and composition courses indicated
through placement testing and/or academic
advising prior to enrolling in this course.
A quantitative study of theoretical and descriptive aspects of
the states of matter, atoms, molecules, bonding, homogenous
reactions, acid base properties, amphoterism, and complexion
formation, chemical equilibria, and oxidation reduction
process. The lab component will provide laboratory support
for the concepts taught in lecture.

CHM 2046C 5 (3 / 3)
COLLEGE CHEMISTRY II with lab
• Prerequisites: C or higher in CHM 2045C,
CHM 2045L, & C or higher in MAC 1105
• Satisfies Codes: GENE, LABR, PHYS
This course in a continuation of College Chemistry I.

ORGANIC CHEMISTRY I with lab
• Prerequisite: C or higher in CHM 2045C or CHM 1205C
• Satisfies Codes: GENE, LABR, PHYS
This course provides a basic introduction to all organic
functional groups, followed by detailed treatment of the
relationship between structure and reactivity. Other topics
include stereochemistry, synthesis, and spectroscopy.

CHM 2211C 5 (3 / 3)
ORGANIC CHEMISTRY II with lab
• Prerequisite: C or higher in CHM 2210C
• Satisfies Codes: GENE, LABR, PHYS
This course is a continuation of CHM 2210 covering the
chemistry of carbonyl and nitrogen compounds followed by an
introduction to biomolecules. Emphasis will be on reactivity,
mechanism and synthesis.
