Courses offered at Urban Campus
CHM 105 - Survey of Chemistry
Credits: 3.00
An introduction to chemical topics with little mathematics. Topics include energy, food chemistry, air and water pollution, agricultural chemicals, detergents, and drugs. For students who need one semester of laboratory science.
CHM 122 – Introduction to General
Chemistry
Credits: 4.00
A study of the concepts of general chemistry including atomic structure, bonding, reactions, stoichiometry, gas laws, solutions, acids and bases, equilibrium, nuclear chemistry and an introduction to organic chemistry. Problem solving is emphasized. For non-science majors and students in health related programs. Prerequisite: 1 Year H.S. Algebra or MAT 063
CHM 132 – Introduction to Organic and
Biochemistry
Credits: 4.00
A continuation of the study of organic chemistry and a study of biochemistry. Organic topics include the structure of organic molecules, the nature and reactions of functional groups, and stereochemistry. Biochemistry topics include carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, enzymes and metabolism. Prerequisite: CHM 122 or Equivalent

CHM 165 - General and Inorganic Chemistry
I
Credits: 4.00
A thorough treatment of general chemistry including atomic structure, stoichiometry, chemical bonding, states of matter, solutions, acids and bases. This course is intended for science, engineering, pre-vet, pre-med, pre-dental and pre-optometry majors. Prerequisites: 1 year high school chemistry or CHM 122 AND 2 years high school algebra or MAT 073.
CHM 175 - General and Inorganic Chemistry
II (Currently offered spring semester only)
Credits: 4.00
A thorough treatment of general chemistry including solutions, acids and bases, reaction rates, equilibrium, thermodynamics, electrochemistry and nuclear chemistry. This course is intended for science, engineering, pre-vet, pre-med, pre-dental and pre-optometry majors. Prerequisite: 1 Yr. H.S. Chem or CHM 122 & 2 Yrs. H.S. Algebra or MAT 073
CHM 263 - Organic Chemistry I
Credits: 5.00
A study of the principles of organic chemistry including the nomenclature and chemistry of the various organic functional groups. Structure, bonding, synthesis, reaction mechanisms and spectroscopy are emphasized. The sequence is designed to satisfy the one year of organic chemistry required by most medical schools. Prerequisite: CHM132 or 175 or 1 year college-level general chemistry.
CHM 273 - Organic Chemistry II
Credits: 5.00
A continuation of the study of the principles of organic chemistry including the nomenclature and chemistry of the various organic functional groups. Structure, bonding, synthesis, reaction mechanisms and spectroscopy are emphasized. The sequence is designed to satisfy the one year of organic chemistry required by most medical schools. Prerequisite: CHM 263.
