CHE 104. Introduction to Experimental
Chem 2 Credits
Credits
General Description: This course is specifically
designed for students who have declared a major in
chemistry. It prepares chemistry majors for
successful entry into the 5-semester sequence of
integrated lab courses that begins in the spring of a
student’s 2nd year in the chemistry program. The
course will build upon the foundation of general
chemistry and extend students’ knowledge of the
experimental nature of chemistry. The focus will be
on the methodology, tools, and techniques that
chemists utilize in their work. Mathematical,
scientific, laboratory, and ethical skills are
developed. Prerequisites: CHE 101 and 102 and
chemistry majors only.

CHE 306. Inorganic Chemistry 3 Credits
General Description: This is a foundation course for
chemistry majors and minors offering students an
opportunity to explore general chemistry topics in
more detail and explore the relationship of structure
to properties of inorganic compounds. Topics
covered include covalent, ionic, and metallic
bonding, molecular symmetry, solid state structures,
transition metal complexes, oxidation and reduction
as well as the chemistry of acids and bases. This
class meets for three hours each week. Prerequisite:
CHE 102.
CHE 320. Analytical/Instruments Methods 4
Credits
General Description: This is a foundation course for
chemistry majors and minors in which the principles
of analytical chemistry are introduced. The course
initially focuses on the traditional “wet” chemical
technique of titrimetry and progresses to study of
instrumental methods of analysis. Specific topics
covered include acid/base, precipitation, and
complexometric titrations as well as optical
spectroscopy and chromatography. This class meets
three hours each week. Prerequisite: CHE 102.

principles which govern the reactions of carbon
compounds. Particular emphasis is placed on the
structure and stereochemistry of organic molecules,
acid-base theory, reaction mechanisms, and an
introduction to the reactions and synthesis of
alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alicyclics, alkyl halides
and aromatic compounds. Three hours lecture and
