The Department of Chemistry offers a variety of courses to fulfill your science needs.

· For students who are liberal arts majors and need a lab-science course, we offer a unique discovery-based course in which you experience concepts via hands-on explorations in the lab and discussions in the classroom. This Inquiry into Chemistry course (CHEM 105) is especially appropriate for students in education-related programs.

· For students without a solid foundation course from high school, we offer a two-semester sequence of General Chemistry (CHEM 101-102) or 1 semester of Introductory Chemistry (CHEM 110). Allied health and nursing students often take this course and follow it with a semester of Introductory Biochemistry (CHEM 118).

· For students with the appropriate preparation who are interested in any science related program here or at a 4-year institution, we offer a two-semester sequence of College Chemistry (CHEM 121-122). Those interested in medicine, pharmacy and/or science degrees, need to follow this sequence with two semesters of Organic Chemistry (CHEM 221-222).

· In addition, for students pursuing their degree in chemistry or intending to work as a chemical technician in industry, we offer Analytical Chemistry (CHEM 213), Instrumental Chemistry (CHEM 214), Chemical Literature (CHEM 217), Environmental Chemistry (CHEM 207) and Physical Chemistry (CHEM 257)
