3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHEM 3431. This course is required for the CHEM major and elective for the BIOCHEM major and CHEM minor. The course is a continuation of CHEM 3431, with emphasis on chemical kinetics and quantum mechanics. This is an experience-enriched course. (Spring odd years)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHEM 1420. This course explores the chemistry of the Earth's atmospheric, hydrologic, and geologic systems. It includes a study of both naturally functioning environments and degraded environments. A variety of topics will be investigated, including, but not limited to, atmospheric chemistry, photochemical smog, ozone depletion and the ozone hole, aquatic chemistry, acid depostition, and hazardous wastes. The laboratory component will involve a class project in which a local natural area or urban setting is studied. Through the project, sampling methods will be presented and a variety of air, water, and soil analyses will be conducted. This is an experience-enriched course. (Spring odd years)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHEM 3420. Recommended for students with an interest in health sciences. Required for BIOCHEM major and minor, elective for the CHEM and BIMS majors. This course is the fi rst in a two semester sequence which explores the molecules and chemical reactions of biological systems. Topics include amino acids, protein structure and function, enzyme kinetics, thermodynamics of biochemical systems, buffers, carbohydrates, and biochemical laboratory techniques. The laboratory teaches techniques unique to biochemistry and that relate to the lecture material. This is an experience-enriched course. (Fall)

3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHEM 3441. Recommended for students with an interest in health sciences. Required for the BIOCHEM major and minor, and elective for BIMS major. This course is the second in a two semester sequence which explores the molecules and chemical reactions of biological systems. Topics include metabolism, glycolysis and gluconeogeneses, the citric acid cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, fat metabolism, regulation of metabolism, immunology, and DNA/ RNA systems. The lab teaches techniques unique to biochemistry and that relate to the lecture material. This is an experience enriched course. (Spring)
-
0.00 - 1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Junior or senior standing. A required course for CHEM and BIOCHEM majors. This course is designed to develop written and oral communication skills. Students select a current topic in the fi eld of chemistry, conduct a literature search, submit a paper written in scientifi c review format, and give an oral presentation to their peers. Work is carried out under the guidance of a faculty member. This is the capstone course for Chemistry and Biochemistry. (Spring)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHEM 2430. Upper level elective for CHEM and BIOCHEM majors. The course is a survey of the instruments and associated methods used in chemical analysis. The theory and application of chromatographic, spectroscopic, and electroanalytical methods are examined. Laboratory work provides an opportunity to gain familiarity in the use of several instruments. This is an experience-enriched course. (Spring even years)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHEM 3420. Required for the CHEM major, elective for BIOCHEM major. A systematic study of modern inorganic chemistry with major emphasis on atomic and molecular structure, symmetry, chemical bonding, crystal fi eld theory, acids and bases, and nonaqueous solvents. The laboratory work emphasizes the microscale synthesis of a variety of inorganic compounds and their characterization by modern experimental methods. This is an experience-enriched course. (Fall odd years)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: CHEM 1420 and consent of the instructor. Elective for students who wish to do chemical research. A laboratory project is selected by the student in consultation with a faculty member who will direct the research. Students will submit a paper incorporating their research work, written in the format of pub - lished journal articles. The course may be repeated for credit to continue the same research project or to start a new one. This is an experience-enriched course. (By arrangement)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: permission of instructor. Elective for advanced students. A study program arranged between a student and an instructor to provide intensive study in a particular area of interest. The course includes a defi nition of goals appropriate for the advanced student, methods of attaining these goals, a schedule for frequent consultation, and a means of measuring progress. This is an experience-enriched course. (By arrangement)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: permission of instructor. Designed for Chemistry or Biochemistry Honors participants. This course provides opportunities for investigations related to an approved upper level course (with concur- rent enrollment) or as a separate independent study. This course may be repeated. This is an experience-enriched course. (As needed)
