CHEM1560 |
Introduction to General Chemistry
A one-semester introduction to fundamental topics in general chemistry, both qualitative and quantitative, with laboratory. CHEM 1560 prepares students for CHEM 1570; CHEM 1560 is not recommended for premedical or preveterinary students. Students planning to take CHEM 2080 should be enrolled in CHEM 2070 rather than CHEM 1560.

CHEM2510 |
Introduction to Experimental Organic Chemistry
Introduction to the synthesis, separation, characterization, and handling of materials, including chromatography, extraction, crystallization, infrared spectroscopy, and others. An experiment is performed the first week of lab. Students need to enroll in the course Canvas site and complete the appropriate pre-lab assignments outlined on that site before coming to the first lab.
