2.00 Credits
This is the second semester laboratory course of a two course sequence in general chemistry. It is intended for students majoring in science or satisfying prerequisites for professional schools. The course illustrates the fundamental principles of physical and inorganic with some organic chemistry in terms of laboratory experiments. Topics included in the course are techniques of data analysis, chemical kinetics, chemical equilibrium, acid, base, and salt, thermochemistry, electrochemistry, coordination chemistry, and organic chemistry. Wherever appropriate and whenever possible, computer skills are introduced and applied to data analysis, laboratory simulations, and computer interfacing with laboratory equipment.

3.00 Credits
This course is the first semester of a one-year course in Organic Chemistry. Major themes include, but are not limited to, bonding and molecular structure, nomenclature, reaction mechanisms, synthesis, and an introduction to conjugated and aromatic carbon based compounds. An emphasis is placed on the reactions of aliphatic compounds such as alkanes, cycloalkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and alkyl halides. The organic chemistry literature, and spectral interpretation using techniques such as infrared and nuclear magnetic spectroscopies, are introduced to support the above topics. This course is designed for undergraduates pursuing a degree in the chemical sciences, training in chemical technology, and other transfer students who need organic chemistry as part of the formal preparation for their major; for example, molecular biology, premedical, predental, and pharmacy.

2.00 Credits
This is a laboratory course designed to illustrate the principles presented in Chemistry 231. The emphasis is on the determination of physical properties and the separation, purification and identification of organic compounds. The course acquaints students with the equipment, glassware, techniques and safe practices specific to the organic chemistry laboratory. Techniques such as measurements of physical constants, recrystallization, extraction, distillation and chromatography are used in the synthesis and/or characterization of selected classes of organic compounds. These classes include, but are not limited to, alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alkyl halides, and alcohols. The organic chemistry literature, and spectral interpretation using techniques such as infrared and nuclear spectroscopies, are introduced to support the above topics. This course is designed for undergraduates pursuing a degree in the chemical sciences, training in chemical technology, and those students who need organic chemistry as part of the formal preparation for their major; for example, molecular biology, premedical, predental, and pharmacy.

3.00 Credits
This course is the second semester of a one-year sequence in Organic Chemistry. It is designed for students pursuing a baccalaureate degree in the chemical sciences or in majors such as premedical, predental or pharmacy; and for students training for careers in some chemical technology fields. The topics covered include, but are not limited to, molecular structure, nomenclature, reaction mechanisms, and synthesis. An emphasis is placed on the reactions of selected classes of organic compounds, such as alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids and their derivatives, amines, benzenoid and heterocyclic aromatics and their derivatives, carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids and peptides, and nucleic acids. The study of these molecules provides a backdrop for exploring the factors that govern particular transformations within a synthetic sequence. The use of print and electronic media and the interpretation of spectroscopic information (such as infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopies, and mass spectrometry) for the analysis and differentiation of molecular structures is continued.

2.00 Credits
This course is the second semester of a one-year sequence in Organic Chemistry Laboratory and is designed to illustrate the principles presented in Chemistry 233. It is intended for students pursuing a baccalaureate degree in the chemical sciences or in majors such as premedical, predental or pharmacy; and for students training for careers in some chemical technology fields. The emphasis is on synthesis, purification and/or characterization of selected classes of organic compounds, including but not limited to aromatics, alcohols, aldehydes and ketones, carboxylic acids, amines, and simple examples of bio-organic molecules. Additional emphasis is placed on multi-step synthetic pathways and product identification using selected methods of qualitative organic analysis such as wet chemical and advanced spectroscopic techniques. Variation of scale from micro- to macro-quantities, and more advanced separation and analytical techniques, distinguish the level of this course from Organic Chemistry I Laboratory.
-
5.00 Credits
This is a course in quantitative analysis. Major topics include theory and practice of gravimetric and volumetric methods of chemical analysis and introduction to instrumental methods of analysis with a focus on precision and accuracy of experimental data. The target audience for Chem 251 is students majoring in chemistry or biochemistry and others who need the course for career advancement. It is recommended that students who plan to enroll in this course do so the semester following completion of Chemistry 201.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed for students who desire to learn how the pharmaceutical industry works. Specifically it is intended for those who want to understand the drug discovery, design and approval processes. The course covers principles pertinent to working in the pharmaceutical industry. Topics include but are not limited to good lab practice (GLP), good manufacturing practice (GMP), hazardous materials management, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), drug approval, and drug design. The course concludes with an overview of companies in the local pharmaceutical industry, their technology and products.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
For students who wish to study special problems. This course may be taken four times with different content for a maximum of six units.
-
0.00 Credits
This course is designed to prepare the student to succeed in the corequisite and subsequent subject matter courses. This course may be taken four times with a different corequisite subject matter course.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is an introductory survey of the field of Chicano Studies and the factors that influence the Chicano culture. Emphasis is placed on the historical development of the Chicano people including their Mesoamerican roots, cultural identification, political activities, and their contemporary roles and influence in United States culture, society and economy. This course is designed for students majoring in Chicano Studies and/or Social Sciences and can be used for transfer General Education.
