Description of Courses
All prerequisite courses listed below must be passed with a minimum grade of “C”.
CHEM 111. General Chemistry Laboratory I
Laboratory for CHEM 132. Three laboratory hours per week. corequisite: CHEM 132. Credit, 1 hour. Offered fall and
spring semesters.
CHEM 132. General College Chemistry I
A foundation course forming the basis of the other more specialized chemistry courses. Fundamental principles and
theories of chemistry, chemical calculations, and the properties of the more important elements are stressed. Three lectures
per week. Prerequisite: ACT Math of ≥ 23. If ACT Math < 23, students are required to take MATH 132 (passing with at least
a C grade). If students do not have at least 1 year of high school chemistry, students are strongly encouraged to take CHEM
140. Credit, 3 hours. Offered fall and spring semesters.
