CHEM 101 4 Units
Introductory Chemistry
Introductory Chemistry involves the study of the material makeup of our world and its relationship to life, the natural environment, and our lived experiences. General scientific principles including scientific observation and measurement are also introduced. This course is designed to prepare students for careers in nursing, medicine, engineering and other science and allied health professions.
CHEM 104 4 Units
Introduction to Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry
This course is an introduction to the bonding, naming, structure, and chemical and biomolecular properties for different classes of organic compounds and biomolecules, with a focus on their cellular, medicinal and industrial importance.
CHEM 105 5 Units
Introduction to General, Organic and Biochemistry
This course provides a foundation for the concepts of general, organic, and biochemistry for students who wish to pursue allied health fields such as nursing. Some of the areas studied include the physical and chemical properties of common elements and compounds, the SI system, measurements and conversions, atomic structure, the periodic table, chemical equations and calculations, gases, solutions, electrolytes as well as an introduction to the bonding, naming, structure, and chemical and biological properties for different classes of organic compounds and biomolecules, with a focus on their cellular, medicinal, and commercial importance.
CHEM 150 5 Units
General Chemistry I

CHEM 205 5 Units
Quantitative Chemical Analysis
This course explores the principles, calculations, and applications of volumetric, gravimetric, and instrumental analysis as well as provides practical experience in standardizing reagents and determining the composition of various mixtures pertaining to the chemical laboratory setting. It is designed for second year Chemistry and Biology majors and students pursuing professional careers.
CHEM 212 5 Units
Organic Chemistry I
This course examines the properties, synthesis, and reactions of organic compounds, those that contain carbon, which includes many important modern materials, such as plastic and pharmaceuticals. It also provides the foundational background to later learn about the chemistry of biological systems.
CHEM 213 5 Units
Organic Chemistry II
The second semester of organic chemistry continues the study of carbon compounds including aliphatic, aromatic and heterocyclic series, theoretical concepts, instrumentation, mechanisms, synthesis and functional groups. Laboratory includes preparation and study of properties, and extensive identification of organic compounds.
