    Prerequisite(s): CHE 104 , CHE 104L .
    Atomic structure, chemical bonding, and molecular structure of inorganic compounds and their relationships to the periodic table and chemical properties. Special emphasis on coordination chemistry and elucidation of structure and bonding in compounds. On demand

    Three lecture hours and three laboratory hours per week.
    Hours: 4
  
  • CHE 405 - Environmental Chemistry


    Prerequisite(s): CHE 202  and CHE 210 
    This course you will study the chemistry of the air, water, and soil, and how anthropogenic activities affect this chemistry on the planet Earth. Specifically, it will examine the sources, reactions, transport, effects, and fates of chemical species in air, water, and soil environments. This course is divided into five major parts that reflect the most pressing issues in environmental chemistry today: atmospheric chemistry and air pollution; climate change and energy; water chemistry and water pollution; toxic organic compounds; and metals, soils, sediments, and waste disposal.

    Hours: 3
  
  • CHE 411 - Biochemistry I


    Prerequisite(s): CHE 202  and CHE 202L .
    A study of the protein structure and function, enzyme kinetics, nucleic acids and DNA technology, carbohydrates, and lipids, as well as biological membranes, transport, and signaling.

    Hours: 3
  
  • CHE 411L - Biochemistry I Laboratory


    Prerequisite(s): CHE 202  CHE 202L  
    Co-requisite(s): CHE 411  
    This course is an introduction to biochemistry lab techniques and instrument use, and provides opportunities for applying biochemical principles in the laboratory setting.

    Hours: 1
  
  • CHE 412 - Biochemistry II


    Prerequisite(s): CHE 411 .
    A continuation of CHE 411 . This course is a study of bioenergetics and biochemical reaction pathways, biosynthesis and metabolism.

    Hours: 3
  
  • CHE 412L - Biochemistry Laboratory


    Co-requisite(s): CHE 412 .
    Three biochemistry laboratory hours per week.

    Hours: 1
  
  • CHE 460 - Internship in Chemistry


    Application of chemical principles during a supervised internship in a chemical research laboratory or workplace. Involves a minimum of ten on-site work hours per week or an equivalent time in summer. On demand May be repeated, but only three credit hours may be taken as credit toward the chemistry major. By permission of the Chemistry Department.

    Hours: 3
  
  • CHE 470 - Senior Review


    An assessment of the four principal subject areas of chemistry: inorganic, analytical, organic and physical chemistry. The course also involves demonstration of proficiency in four major instruments. Spring

    Hours: 1
  
  • CHE 471 - Conducting Research


    Prerequisite(s): CHE 372  
    During this course, students will carry out the bulk of their research project, acquiring data and analyzing the results of their experiments. While each students’ research will be their own, the class will meet together regularly for each student to share their progress in a small group setting, then both give and receive constructive feedback. In addition, the graduate/professional application process will be discussed.

    Hours: 3
