This is the first semester of an introductory course for the nursing, health professions and other disciplines who need an introduction to chemistry. It combines the elements of general chemistry and organic chemistry. It does not replace these courses for the major or minor. It will cover nomenclature, atomic theory, reactions, mole calculations, solutions, gases, kinetics, and equilibrium.

This is the first semester of a year-long course in organic chemistry for science majors. Topics include bonding, reaction mechanisms, structure, stereochemistry, and synthesis and reactions of aliphatic hydrocarbons and their derivatives. The correlation of physical properties to molecular structure and instrumentation is introduced.
- Faculty: JONATHAN FRITZ
A first course in chemical analysis. Topics include gravimetric and volumetric methods, statistical applications, ionic equilibria, and analytical instrumentation.
- Faculty: ELIZABETH JENSEN
A two-semester introduction to chemical research. The first semester will begin with a literature search on the research topic and will include beginning laboratory work. Literature search will include Chemical Abstracts and other data-retrieval systems for information on the theory and method needed for the project. The second semester will consist of laboratory work and will conclude with a seminar on the results of the project.
