Required Courses

CHM 111 General Chemistry I    Credit Hours: 4
This course includes the fundamental principles and qualitative aspects of general inorganic chemistry. Topics discussed include the study of chemical stoichiometry, atomic theory, chemical bonding and kinetic molecular theory.

CHM 112 General Chemistry II    Credit Hours: 4 
This course is a continuation of CHM 111. This course includes the study of solution chemistry, kinetics, oxidation-reductions, equilibria, and acids and bases.
Prerequisite: CHM 111

CHM 335 Organic Chemistry I    Credit Hours: 4 
This is the first course in the study of the compounds of carbon. This course includes the study of structure, mechanisms, synthesis, and reactions of organic compounds.
Prerequisite: CHM 112

CHM 336 Organic Chemistry II    Credit Hours: 4 
This course is a continuation of CHM 335.
Prerequisite: CHM 335

CHM/BIO 338 Biochemistry    Credit Hours: 3 
This course introduces molecules of biological importance. Topics include the chemistry of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids, and enzymes and their role in metabolism. This course may count as both biology elective and as hours toward the chemistry minor.
Prerequisite: CHM 335 and BIO 101 or 102

I purposely don't text people back within the first 4 days in case they desperately need me. If someone can't reach me, they can't depend on me. If they can't depend on me, they won't ask me for help. Mark one in my W column.
