Students majoring in chemistry may receive certification
to teach chemistry in grades 9-12 in the State
of Missouri by double majoring in chemistry and
secondary education. A certification program in
chemistry has been approved by the Missouri
Department of Elementary and Secondary
Education. Procedures to be followed in obtaining
teacher certification are included in the
Student Handbook for Teacher Certification.
Specific course requirements for all certification
programs may be found on the check sheets
available in the education department office.
113. Fundamentals of General, Organic, and
Biological Chemistry. 5 cr. hrs. An introduction
for the non-science major to the basic principles of
chemistry will be accomplished in this course.
Topics from general chemistry include scientific
measurement, chemical nomenclature, atomic
structure, chemical energy, stoichiometry, chemical
bonding, solutions, acids and bases, and buffers.
Special attention will be given to structures and
reactions of organic compounds. Biochemistry will
be introduced through the study of proteins, lipids,
carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and metabolism. The
course includes one laboratory period per week
and was designed for students who have little or no
background in chemistry. CHE 113 is especially
appropriate for students interested in allied-health
fields. This course is not intended to serve as a prerequisite
for CHE 121 or other courses in chemistry.
Fall semester.
121. General Chemistry I. 4 cr. hrs. Principles,
concepts, and methods which are basic to the study
of chemistry are introduced in this course. Typical
topics include inorganic nomenclature; atomic
structure; stoichiometry; gases, liquids, and solids;
chemical energy; and solutions. The course
includes one laboratory period per week. Because
many of the same topics are addressed in CHE 113
and CHE 121, students may not receive credit
toward graduation for both courses. It is recommended
that students take GEN 103 or 104 prior
to enrolling in CHE 121. Spring semester.
122. General Chemistry II. 4 cr. hrs. This is a
continuation of the introduction to chemistry
which was begun in CHE 121. Typical topics
include kinetics; equilibrium; acids, bases, and
buffers; electrochemistry; nuclear chemistry; organic
chemistry; and biochemistry. The course includes
one laboratory period per week. Prerequisites: CHE
