Three hours lecture/two hours lab per week. Introduction to basic characteristics of ecosystems and an exploration of how they are affected by the technological and social environments inwhich humans live.

Overview of fundamental concepts of physical, life, and environmental science topics that will be built upon science methods courses. This course will include a hands-on lab component. This course is restricted to students in the professional degree completion program.

Non-classroom experiences in the field of chemistry. Placements are off-campus, and may be full- or part-time, and with or without pay. Credit for experiences must be sought prior to occurance, and learning contracts must be submitted before the end of the first week of the semester. See the experiential learning: internship section of this catalog for more details. Restricted to students with junior standing or higher. Graded CR/NC.

Independent reading and/or research under the guidance of a chemistry faculty member. Refer to the academic policy section for independent study policy. Independent study contract is required. May be repeated for credit.

Students will participate in an off-campus chemistry internship that involves research and/or data analysis. Internship placements may be with or without pay, and must be established prior to enrollment in this course in consultation with career services office and/or a science faculty member. May be repeated for credit.

A student-driven research experience under the supervision of a faculty mentor or an internship director. Two credits will be the standard credit given for this course. Research contracts will be required for everyone who registers, with fewer or additional credits given depending on the approved project and time commitment. Each faculty member will offer one section of this class per year. Prerequisite: grade of C or higher in 397. May be repeated for a maximum of six credits.

One hour of lecture and discussion per week. This course will focus on the effective dissemination of research results including completion of a formal written research paper and oral presentation. Offered each spring. Prerequisite: 489 or 498. Restricted to students with senior standing.

Courses on topics of interest to chemistry students offered on the basis of need, interest, or timeliness. Prerequisites as determined by the instructor. Restricted to students with junior standing or higher. May be repeated for credit. For specific section description, click to the Section Details in VitNet.

Three hours lecture/four hours lab per week. An introduction to the theoretical and practical fundamentals of analytical chemistry. Lecture includes statistical evaluation of analytical data, acid-base equilibria, reduction-oxidation equilibria, and the principles of spectroscopic and chromatographic analysis. Laboratory includes gravimetric, titrimetric, kinetic, potentiometric, and spectroscopic techniques. Prerequisite: C or higher in 121.

Three hours lecture/three hours lab per week. A continuation of CHEM 240. Topics include reaction mechanisms including regio- and stereoselectivity, total synthesis, and retrosynthetic analysis. Prerequisite: grade of C or higher in 240.
