This course is intended for students in health science programs which require one course in chemistry, but it may also be selected as an integrative requirement option by students in other programs. This course integrates the basic concepts of inorganic, organic and biological chemistry and establishes the chemical foundations for microbiology, physiology, nutrition and pharmacology. Not open to chemistry majors or students who have credit for CHEM 140. Not an acceptable prerequisite for chemistry courses numbered 200 or higher. (P: MATH 107). Lab fee.

Lecture and laboratory study of the fundamentals of forensic science. Scientific principles will be introduced by examining the techniques used to evaluate physical evidence such as that left at a crime scene. An integral part of the course will be case studies which will be used to introduce various topics in the field. The course is appropriate for the non-science major provided that they have basic math and science skills. (P: Math 107; sophomore status or above) Lab fee.
4.0 Credits

A survey of quantitative analytical methods applicable to inorganic and organic systems. Emphasis on the importance of equilibrium considerations of analytically useful reactions. Laboratory includes classical wet chemical procedures and a limited introduction to instrumental techniques. Lab fee. (P: CHEM 160).
