CHEM 1120 – Introduction to Chemistry
5 credits | Prerequisite: MATH 101, MATH 106 or MATH 1106, or 2 years of college preparatory math with minimum grade of "C", or appropriate score on college placement assessment
A beginning chemistry course designed for students in the health science programs or those desiring to fulfill a non-science general education requirement. Topics covered include measurement, atomic theory, bonding and chemical formulas, chemical reactions, stoichiometry, kinetic molecular theory, gas laws, solutions, acid-base chemistry, reaction rates, and oxidation/reduction. Laboratory exercises are designed to complement the lecture.
CHEM 1124 – Principles of Organic and Biological Chemistry
5 credits | Prerequisite: CHEM 1120 or high school chemistry
An introduction to organic and biological chemistry, incorporating functional groups and reactions, is followed by the study of biochemicals, including carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and enzymes. In addition, nucleic acids, protein synthesis, energy, and metabolism will be covered. Desirable for students interested in Allied Health.

This course will be a discussion of particular problems related to the student’s chosen program and areas of interest.
*CHEM 2201 – Organic Chemistry I
4 credits | Prerequisites: CHEM 1161 and CHEM 1162 | Corequisite: CHEM 2211
This course is designed to give the student extensive background in bonding, nomenclature and reactions of alkanes, cycloalkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alcohols, alkyl halides, conjugated alkadienes, allylic systems and arenes. Addition, elimination, nucleophilic substitution and electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions are covered including their mechanisms. Spectroscopy of organic compounds is introduced.
*CHEM 2202 – Organic Chemistry II
4 credits | Prerequisite: CHEM 2201 | Corequisite: CHEM 2212
This course is designed to give the student extensive background in bonding, nomenclature, and reactions of organometallics, alcohols, diols, ethers, epoxides, aldehydes and ketones. Reactions of these types of compounds or leading to their formation will be covered, including electrophilic aromatic substitutions and nucleophilic additions to the carbonyl group to enolates and organometallics. Spectroscopy of organic compounds will be introduced.
The course is also designed to give the student an extensive background in bonding, nomenclature and reactions of carboxylic acids and their derivatives, amines, aryl halides and phenols. Reactions of these types of compounds or leading to their formation will be covered. Basis biomolecules such as carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, and proteins and nucleic acids will be introduced with an emphasis on their basic primary, secondary and tertiary structures, as appropriate, and certain simple properties and reactions from an organic chemical perspective.
*CHEM 2211 – Organic Chemistry I Laboratory
1 credit | Prerequisites: CHEM 1151, CHEM 1152, CHEM 1161 and CHEM 1162 | Corequisite: CHEM 2201
A course designed to give the student hands-on laboratory experience with the concepts of CHEM 2201 and the use of experimental apparatuses and techniques in the practice of organic chemistry. Emphasis will be on microscale technique due to its safety and economy of time and resources as well as its frequent need in biochemical, natural product, environmental and pharmaceutical fields; however, some macroscale experiments may be performed. Experiments will include molecular modeling of compounds studied in CHEM 2201; basic techniques of recrystallization, melting point and boiling point determination, distillation, extraction, chromatography, and spectroscopy, the SN2 reaction mechanism; selected addition and elimination reactions of alkenes, alcohols, and alkyl halides; 1,2 and 1,4 additions and Diels-Alder cycloaddition of conjugated dienes; infrared, gas chromatography and un/visible spectrophotometry.
*CHEM 2212 – Organic Chemistry II Laboratory
1 credit | Prerequisites: CHEM 2201 and CHEM 2211 | Corequisite: CHEM 2202
A course designed to give the student hands-on laboratory experience with the concepts of CHEM 2202 and the use of experimental apparatuses and techniques in the practice of organic chemistry. Emphasis will be on microscale technique due to its safety and economy of time and resources as well as its frequent need in biochemical, natural product, environmental and pharmaceutical fields; however, some macroscale experiments may be performed. Experiments will generally cover experimentally the concepts studied in CHEM 2202 including Friedel-Crafts, nitration, and other electrophilic substitution reactions of the aromatic ring; oxidation of alcohols; epoxidation of alkenes; preparation and reaction of organometallic compounds; the aldol condensation; and infrared and un/visible spectrophotometry formation and reaction of carboxylic acids and their derivatives; amines; phenols; versatile synthetic techniques such as the acetoacetic ester and malonic ester syntheses and aromatic diazonium salt reactions; carbohydrates; lipids; and proteins and other polymers.
