       CHEM 1301. BEGINNING CHEMISTRY. (3:3:0) F, S. A preparatory course for CHEM 1411. This course is designed for students who have not had chemistry in high school or who need review and further study prior to entering Chemistry I. This is a lecture course, emphasizing basic chemical concepts, problem-solving methods and the development of math skills. This course will not satisfy graduation requirements.

        CHEM 1406. INTRODUCTORY CHEMISTRY I. (4:3:3) F, S, S1, S2. An introductory study of the principles and applications of inorganic, organic and biochemistry. This course is intended for students needing a one-semester science course and for students in certain allied-health fields. This course may not be substituted for CHEM 1411.

        CHEM 1411. GENERAL CHEMISTRY I. (4:3:3) F, S, S1, Prerequisites: High School Chemistry, CHEM 1301, or equivalent. High School Algebra I and II or concurrent enrollment in MATH 1314, or permission of instructor. A study of the fundamental concepts of chemistry, including atomic structure, chemical bonding, and molecular structure, chemical  reactions, properties of solutions, gases, nomenclature and states of matter. The laboratory will be quantitative in nature.

        CHEM 1412. GENERAL CHEMISTRY II. (4:3:3) F, S, S2, Prerequisite: A grade of "C" or better in CHEM 1411 or consent of instructor. This is a continuation of CHEM 1411 General Chemistry I and includes topics such as acid base theory, equilibria of molecules and ions, complex ions, electrochemistry, nuclear chemistry, and thermodynamics. The laboratory will be quantitative as well as qualitative and will include use of laboratory instruments. Required for such majors and minors as math, physical sciences and pre-professional health areas.

        CHEM 2523. ORGANIC CHEMISTRY I. (5:3:5) F. Prerequisite: A grade of "C" or better in CHEM 1412 or consent of instructor. A course in the preparation, reaction, and structure of organic compounds. The course starts with the simple aliphatics and includes stereo chemistry, ionic, radicals and additional reactions. Lab work emphasizes the microscale methods.

       CHEM 2525. ORGANIC CHEMISTRY II. (5:3:5) S. Prerequisite: A grade of "C" or better in CHEM 2523. A continuation of CHEM 2523. Lab work provides hands-on training in the use of nuclear magnetic resonance, gas chromatography, ultraviolet and infrared spectroscopy and other instruments important to the organic chemist.
