4.00 Credits
4 credits Frameworks This course is for non-science majors who are interested in learning more about how evidence from a crime scene is collected, analyzed, and evaluated. Of necessity, the course will be numerical in nature, but not math-intensive. As a multidisciplinary area of study, the course will use concepts from chemistry, biology, biochemistry, physics, toxicology, statistics, and other fields and will employ hands-on learning activities and laboratories, group work, and the traditional lecture format to convey the course material. Four hours lecture/laboratory sessions.

4.00 Credits
4 credits A terminal course for students who wish to obtain a general knowledge of chemistry with emphasis on the processes in the body and in nature. Descriptive and some quantitative principles discussed. Prerequisite: high school algebra. Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits Chemistry of carbon compounds with emphasis on structure, stereochemistry, synthesis, and reaction mechanisms. Application in allied fields. Laboratory introduces techniques involved in organic synthesis, analysis, and study of reaction mechanisms. Intended for majors in Chemistry and Biology and all students pursuing careers in the health professions. Prerequisites: CHM 111-112, CHM 201 with a grade of C- or better for CHM 202. Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits Neutralization, oxidation-reduction, chemical equilibria, colorimetry, and the methods of quantitative chemical analysis. Thorough training in volumetric, gravimetric, and colorimetric techniques. Prerequisite: CHM 112. Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits A one-semester course in organic chemistry designed to be particularly applicable to students interested in the health sciences. The subject matter includes organic chemistry principles (the naming of compounds, identification of functional groups, chemical reactions, etc.). An effort will be made to make the examples and problems as health-related as possible. Prerequisites: CHM 161 with a grade of C- or better.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits A one-semester course in biochemistry designed to be particularly applicable to students interested in the health sciences. The subject matter includes biochemical principles (identification and properties of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids, metabolic pathways, etc.). An effort will be made to make the examples and problems as health-related as possible. Prerequisites: CHM 262 with a grade of C- or better.

4.00 Credits
4 credits Criminalistics for Physical Science Majors is a course for physical science majors who are interested in learning more about how evidence from a crime scene is collected, analyzed, and evaluated. The course will employ hands-on learning activities, group work, and the traditional lecture format to convey the course material. Forensic science is a multidisciplinary field and as such the course will touch on areas of chemistry, biology, biochemistry, physics, toxicology, statistics, and other fields. Prerequisites: CHM 111, CHM 112, CHM 201. Four hours lecture/laboratory sessions.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits Quantum mechanics applied to the solution of elementary systems. Discussion of atomic and molecular structure, chemical bonding, spectroscopy, laser chemistry, and photochemistry. Prerequisite: CHM 302. Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits Elucidation of the principles of thermodynamics and kinetics as applied to gases, liquids, solids, and solutions. Discussion of chemical equilibrium and thermochemistry. Prerequisites: CHM 111-112, MTH 221, and PHY 105-106. Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits Chemical applications of group theory and quantum mechanics applied to molecular structure. Discussion of spectroscopic selection rules, symmetry and chemical bonding, and the spectroscopy of transition metal complexes. Prerequisite: CHM 301 or permission of the instructor. Three hours lecture.
