CHE 101 - Introduction to Chemistry I with Lab: GTSC1
5 Credits
Includes the study of measurements, atomic theory, chemical bonding, nomenclature, stoichiometry, solutions, acid and base, gas laws, and condensed states. Laboratory experiments demonstrate the above concepts qualitatively and quantitatively. Designed for non-science majors, students in occupational and health programs, or students with no chemistry background.
Prerequisite(s): CCR 092 (or higher) or equivalent and MAT 050 or equivalent.

CHE 111 - General College Chemistry I: GT-SC1
5 Credits
Focuses on basic chemistry and measurement, matter, chemical formulas, reactions and equations, stoichiometry. This course covers the development of atomic theory culminating in the use of quantum numbers to determine electron configurations of atoms, and the relationship of electron configuration to chemical bond theory. The course includes gases, liquids, and solids and problem-solving skills are emphasized through laboratory experiments. The Colorado Commission on Higher Education has approved CHE 111 for inclusion in the Guaranteed Transfer (GT) Pathways program in the GT- SC1 category. For transferring students, successful completion with a minimum C‒ grade guarantees transfer and application of credit in this GT Pathways category. For more information on the GT Pathways program, go to http://highered.colorado.gov/academics/transfers/gtpathways/curriculum.html.
Prerequisite(s): CCR 092 (or higher) or equivalent and MAT 121 with a grade of “C” or better or equivalent placement scores.

CHE 211 - Organic Chemistry I
5 Credits
Focuses on compounds associated with the element carbon including structure and reactions of aliphatic hydrocarbons and selected functional group families. The course covers nomenclature of organic compounds, stereochemistry, reaction mechanisms such as SN1, SN2, E1 and E2. Laboratory experiments demonstrate the above concepts plus the laboratory techniques associated with organic chemistry.
Prerequisite(s): CHE 112 with a grade of “C” or better

CHE 212 - Organic Chemistry II
5 Credits
Continues the investigation into the chemistry of carbon-based compounds, their reactions and synthesis including the structure, physical properties, reactivities, and synthesis of organic functional groups not covered in the first semester. The course explores functional groups including alcohols, ethers, aromatics, aldehydes, ketones, amines, amides, esters, and carboxylic acids and the reactions and reaction mechanisms of aromatic compounds. An introduction to biochemical topics may be included if time permits. Laboratory experiences demonstrate the above concepts and the laboratory techniques associated with organic chemistry.
Prerequisite(s): CHE 211 with a grade of “C” or better

CHE 275 - Special Topics in Chemistry
1-6 Variable Credits
Provides students with a vehicle to pursue in-depth exploration of special topics of interest.
|

-
CHE 285 - Independent Study
1-6 Variable Credits
Provides the opportunity for the highly motivated student to engage in intensive study and research on a specified topic under the direction of a faculty member. Allows a student to complete a course in a semester when the course has not been offered or has been canceled. The option to make independent study available is at the discretion of qualified faculty and the department chair. The student is limited to the number of independent study courses taken per semester.
Required: Instructor’s permission
