Chemistry (CHM)
CHM 0960 — Introductory Science
Credit Hours: 3.00 Total Contact Hours: 3.00 Lecture Hours: 3.00
Provides an introduction to basic principles in biology and chemistry necessary for entry level science courses. This course is for any student that needs to improve or refresh their foundational knowledge in these areas. This is a credit course and will be counted in student's grade point average; however, it will not count towards graduation requirements or as an elective substitute. The 'C' grade policy applies for a student in a health program.
CHM 1010 — General Chemistry I

Introduces the fundamental principles of chemistry, including measurement and calculation; chemical stoichiometry; the properties of gases; atomic and molecular structure; bonding; thermochemistry; and periodic properties.
Prerequisites: MTH 1370.
CHM 1110 — Introductory General Chemistry
Credit Hours: 4.00 Total Contact Hours: 5.00 Lecture Hours: 3.00 Lab Hours: 2.00
Provides a foundation in basic principles of general chemistry. Topics include methods of measurement, temperature and heat, atomic structure, nuclear chemistry, bonding, nomenclature, gas laws, chemical reactions, stoichiometry, solutions, acid-base chemistry, chemical kinetics and chemical equilibrium.
Transfer: TM
Prerequisites: MTH 0900 or placement.
CHM 1120 — Introductory Organic and Biochemistry
Credit Hours: 4.00 Total Contact Hours: 5.00 Lecture Hours: 3.00 Lab Hours: 2.00
Introduces the fundamentals of organic chemistry and biochemistry, including laboratory applications. The structures and properties of organic compounds classified by functional group, carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, proteins, and nucleic acids are presented. Students will develop a basic knowledge of organic nomenclature and reaction classes. Relationships between structure, properties, and functionality of compounds are discussed with emphasis on their application in health sciences. This course presumes a foundational knowledge of inorganic chemistry. The 'C' grade policy applies for a degree in a health program.
Prerequisites: CHM 0960 (with 'C' or better) or CHM 1110 (with 'C' or better) or placement.
