Courses
CH1013 Introduction to Chemistry I
CREDIT HOURS: 3
This course is an introduction to the basic principles of chemistry including stoichiometry, atomic and molecular theory, oxidation-re- duction reactions, gases, and descriptive chemistry. Examples and problems will be drawn from the biological sciences where possible links between chemistry and the life sciences will be emphasized. (3 hours of lectures, 1 hour of tutorial, and 3 hours of labs per week)
PREREQUISITE: Grade 12 Chemistry
CH1023 Introduction to Chemistry II
CREDIT HOURS: 3
This course is a continuation of the principles taught in CH1013 covering thermochemistry and thermodynamics, equilibria, kinetics, acid-base chemistry, electrochemistry, and the foundations of organic chemistry. (3 hours of lectures, 1 hour of tutorial, and 3 hours of labs per week.)
PREREQUISITE: CH1013
CH2113 Organic Chemistry for the Life Sciences
CREDIT HOURS: 3
The central role of chemistry in the biological sciences is revealed by an examination of the structure, reactivity, and structure–function relationships in organic molecules. The course structure will introduce the foundational elements of organic chemistry (structure, stereochemistry functional groups, and simple reactivity relationships). This introduction will allow discussion of the properties of important classes of organic molecules that have biological functions such as carbohydrates, amino acids, lipids, and nucleic acids. (3 hours of lectures, 1 hour of tutorial per week, and 3 hours of labs per week.)
PREREQUISITES: CH1013, CH1023
CH2213 Inorganic Chemistry I
CREDIT HOURS: 3
CH2313 Introductory Analytical Chemistry
CREDIT HOURS: 3
CH3513/3523 Directed Studies in Chemistry
CREDIT HOURS: 3
These courses are available for students when their interests and the professor’s expertise allow for a more in-depth tutorial approach. Students must be highly capable and must have completed upper level prerequisite courses in the area of the directed study.
