Course Descriptions
Chemistry
| Course # | Course Title | Hours |
|---|---|---|
| CHE 102 | Introduction to Chemistry | 3 Hours |
|
A one semester general survey covering basic chemistry principles including topics in organic chemistry. In particular, emphasizing electronic structure and periodic law, chemical bonding, stoichiometry, chemical reactions and calculations, acids, bases, salts, and organic compounds. Depth of coverage is designed to meet the needs for the general education physical science requirements Credit will not be awarded for both CHE 102(3 credits) and CHE 103(4 credits). Prerequisite: None
