-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Consent of the department; formal application required Directed study is open to juniors and seniors who have demonstrated critical and analytical abilities in their studies and who wish to pursue a project independently. May be taken twice for a maximum of six credits. Graded on a (P) Pass/(N) No Pass basis. Either semester.
-
3.00 - 6.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Consent of the department; formal application required Original research is undertaken by the graduate student in their field. For details, consult the paragraph titled “Directed or Independent Study” in the “School of Graduate Studies” section of this catalog. This course may be repeated for a maximum of six credits.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Consent of the department; formal application required Directed study is designed for the graduate student who desires to study selected topics in a specific field. For details, consult the paragraph titled “Directed or Independent Study” in the “School of Graduate Studies” section of this catalog. This course may be repeated for a maximum of six credits.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Matriculation in the MAT in Biology or consent of instructor This course covers the classification, distribution, life histories, techniques of collection and preservation, evolution, ecology, behavior, economic importance and techniques of field study of mammals. Three hours lecture and one three-hour laboratory period per week. Offered spring semester.
-
2.00 Credits
This course provides students with an introduction to the use of computer applications for doing and communicating chemistry. (It is equally useful for other science majors.) Topics covered include the use of both general purpose (word processors and presentation graphics) and specialized (including two- and three-dimensional molecular graphics programs) applications for communicating technical information. Other topics covered include an introduction to molecular modeling and the technical applications of spreadsheets and databases.
-
3.00 Credits
A selection of topics from the multitude of chemical and nuclear reactions encountered in the everyday life of the modern person will be presented through lectures and demonstrations. Topics such as the following may be included: evaluation of energy alternatives, radioactive isotopes in diagnosis and treatment of disease, risk-to-benefit evaluation of food additives and environmental impact of chemical waste disposal. This course is not recommended for science majors. Either semester. (CNSN)
-
4.00 Credits
This sequence of courses surveys the broad range of topics that comprise the field of chemistry. Topics covered first semester include atomic structure, chemical bonding, states of matter, solutions, chemical reactions (with an emphasis on acid/base reactions) and nuclear chemistry. Topics covered in the second semester include the structure, nomenclature and reactions of organic molecules, enzymes, and the basics of metabolism (concentrating on energy producing pathways). This sequence is designed for students requiring a yearlong course in chemistry, but who are not planning further study in chemistry (except for instrumentation, CHEM 250). Three hours of lecture and one three-hour laboratory weekly. Both semesters. (CNSL)

3.00 Credits
CHEM 131 is prerequisite to CHEM 132 This sequence of courses surveys the broad range of topics that comprise the field of chemistry. Topics covered first semester include atomic structure, chemical bonding, states of matter, solutions, chemical reactions (with an emphasis on acid/base reactions) and nuclear chemistry. Topics covered in the second semester include the structure, nomenclature and reactions of organic molecules, enzymes, and the basics of metabolism (concentrating on energy producing pathways). This sequence is designed for students requiring a yearlong course in chemistry, but who are not planning further study in chemistry (except for instrumentation, CHEM 250). Three hours of lecture each week. Spring semester only. (CNSN)
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Open to Commonwealth honors students and to others at the discretion of the instructor Freshman Honors Colloquia in chemistry allow exceptionally able students to explore a challenging topic in small classes under close faculty supervision. Colloquia meet once a week for 50 minutes and culminate in a paper or scientific project, which provides the major part of the grade. The minimum enrollment is two and the maximum is 12. Topics vary from semester to semester. Fall semester.
