An introductory level course designed to be a general education science course. The course presents chemistry in its broad culture, social, and economic context; providing an understanding of how chemistry is applied to the world today.

An introductory level course designed to be the first semester of the General, Organic and Biochemistry sequence, introducing fundamental concepts in chemistry. This course introduces topics of measurement, atomic theory, chemical bonding, ionic and covalent compounds, naming, shape, intermolecular forces, states of matter, stoichiometric relationships, solutions, reaction rates, equilibria, and acid-base chemistry.

An introductory level course introducing organic chemistry and biochemistry. This course includes topics on functional groups, nomenclature, organic reactions, proteins, enzymatic action, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and metabolism.

A foundational chemistry course designed to be the first semester of the two-semester general chemistry sequence. This course covers topics of atomic structure, stoichiometric relationships, chemical reactions, gas laws, thermochemistry, bonding, and molecular geometry.

This course covers topics of physical states, solutions, reaction rates and mechanisms, chemical equilibrium, acid-base chemistry, thermodynamics, and electrochemistry.

This course will examine the chemical nature of air, water, and soil. Some of the specific topics covered will include: the ozone layer and ozone depletion, greenhouse effect, nutrient cycles, radiation, and acid rain. The fate of chemicals in the environment will be studied.

This course will introduce students to the use of advanced scientific analytical equipment. This equipment will allow students to identify almost any element or chemical compound. Students will be exposed to analyses using pH meter, conductivity meter, spectrophotometers, atomic absorption and graphite furnace. They will also analyze samples using UV and IR spectrophotometers, HPLC, and gas chromatograph. Students will learn techniques of sampling, sample preparation and storage. Lab safety will be emphasized.
