Chemistry Program

This introductory course focuses on basic principles of chemistry and related computational problems. An emphasis is placed on developing analytical, reasoning, and problem solving skills. This course is designed to prepare students who have no previous chemistry experience in chemistry from high school or college for the 200 level general chemistry series. Prerequisites: WR 115 and MTH 70 or equivalent placement test scores. Audit available
