Schedule of Classes

This course is designed to prepare students for CHM 110 or to be utilized as a Bradley Core Curriculum course. Topics include: mathematical concepts used in General Chemistry; atomic structure; periodic properties; inorganic nomenclature; chemical reactions; stoichiometry; chemical bonding; basic thermochemistry; properties of solutions; acids and bases, chemical kinetics and equilibrium. May not be counted for credit in programs offered within the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry; not open to students with credit in CHM 110.

Continuation of CHM 110. For students majoring in the physical or biological sciences and related disciplines. Topics include: acid-base equilibria; thermodynamics; electrochemistry; kinetics; nuclear chemistry; environmental chemistry.

Laboratory that reinforces and expands upon concepts covered in CHM 116. Topics include: acid-base equilibria; spectrophotometry; complexation; electrochemistry; inorganic reaction chemistry.

Studies undertaken by freshman or sophomore students under the guidance of faculty mentors. Maximum of 3 hours per semester; repeatable for up to 6 hrs credit. At the completion of the semester, students are required to submit a research report, describing the goals, methods, and results of the study. Zero credit course graded Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory.

Studies undertaken by advanced students under the guidance of faculty mentors. Maximum of 3 hours per semester; repeatable for up to 6 hours credit. At the completion of the semester, students are required to submit a research report describing the goals, methods, and results of the study. Zero credit course graded Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory.

Research in an area of interest to the student, repeatable for up to 8 hours credit. At the completion of the semester, students are required to submit a research report, describing the goals, methods, and results of the study. Zero-credit course graded. Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory.

Research in an area of chemistry or biochemistry of interest to the student, repeatable for up to 10 hours credit. At the completion of the semester, students are required to submit a research report, giving an update of the progress made in their research. Zero credit course graded Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory.

All MS students must write a thesis based on independent research and present a public seminar detailing the accomplishments of his/her thesis research. The final version of thesis must conform to the requirements outlined by the department and on the Graduate School website. Typically, students enroll in the course in the semester they intend to submit their thesis. Zero credit course graded Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory.
