An introduction to the principles of chemistry with specific applications to the materials and methods used by artists. Topics will include: the nature of light and its interaction with matter in producing color; a study of chemical bonding with application to light absorbing molecules found in the composition of artists' dyes, paints, and pigments; the chemistry of ceramics and glazes; and the chemistry of photography. Other topics may include the chemistry of art restoration, dating of art works, and chemical hazards in the studio. This course is primarily intended for those majoring in art or a related discipline. Co-requisite: CHE-104L. This course with its co-requisite laboratory fulfills the general education lab science requirement.

Lab taken as a co-requisite to CHE-104.

A non-majors lab science course fulfilling the general education requirement; not meant for those going on to higher level chemistry courses. This course is intended for students with majors outside of the sciences who have had little science or math in high school. The concept is to examine the chemistry of a variety of technology-based issues in the context of their social political, economic, ecological and ethical ramifications. The objective is to help students develop critical thinking ability, to better understand how to assess technological risks and benefits and to explore skills that will lead to informed decisions on scientific issues throughout their lives. No prerequisites. Co-requisite: CHE-105L. This course with its co-requisite laboratory fulfills the general education lab science requirement. Considered an elective in the Science Minor for Education Majors.

Laboratory study intended to amplify material covered in CHE-105. The experiments allow the student to experience science at a basic level using simple chemical equipment and procedures. This lab is taken as a co-requisite to CHE-105.

An introduction to the principles of chemistry. Topics include atomic and molecular structure, chemical reactions, kinetics, equilibrium, stoichiometry, solutions, intermolecular interactions, gases and other related topics. CHE-110 is a beginning course for students with weak or no previous chemistry and who expect to take CHE-120 or CHE-125. This course with its co-requisite laboratory fulfills the general education lab science requirement. Foundational elective in the Science Minor for Education Majors. Students taking this course should have a basic proficiency in math. A math SAT above 460, or RSAT 500 or above; or ACT above 19 or a grade of "C" or above in MAT-101 is highly recommended but not required. Co-requisite: CHE-110L.

Relatively simple laboratory experiments are used to facilitate the learning of chemical principles covered in CHE-110. Co-requisite: CHE-110.

An introduction to the structure and reactions of organic compounds. The function and metabolism of compounds of importance to biological systems will be emphasized. Prerequisite: High school chemistry (1 year) and Math SAT 440 or above, or RSAT 480 or above; ACT 19 or above OR completion of CHE-110 with a grade of "C" or better. Co-requisite: CHE-120L. This course with its co-requisite laboratory fulfills the general education lab science requirement.

Lab taken as a co-requisite to CHE-120. Prerequisites: High school chemistry (1 year) and Math SAT 400 or above, SATI 440 or above, ACT 19 or above OR completion of CHE-110 with a grade of "C" or better.

A study of the fundamental principles and concepts of chemistry and their relations to representative elements and their compounds. This course starts with atoms, builds atoms into compounds, and then begins talking about the way in which elements and compounds behave. Foundational elective in the Science Minor for Education Majors. Prerequisite: CHE-110 with grade of "C" or better; Math SAT 480 or above, or RSAT 510 or above; ACT 21 or above, AND high school chemistry (1 year). Co-requisite: CHE-125L.

Laboratory study of basic principles such as stoichiometry, thermodynamics, and spectrophotometry. The experiments will aid in the understanding of common laboratory techniques, data analysis and legal/ethical issues of laboratory record keeping. This lab is taken as a co-requisite to CHE-125.

A study of the fundamental principles and concepts of chemistry with an emphasis on solutions and equilibria. Topics covered include acid/base chemistry, oxidation/reduction reactions, thermodynamics, and nuclear chemistry. Prerequisite: CHE-125 or equivalent with a grade of "C" or better. Co-requisite: CHE-126L.

Laboratory study exploring topics in parallel with lecture course along with a multi-week qualitative analysis experience. The experiments use techniques from 125L to assist in application of chemical concepts. This lab is taken as a co-requisite to CHE-126.
