Courses for Non-Majors

Students with little or no prior background in chemistry are encouraged to enroll in General Chemistry I and II (CHEM141/CHEM142), both of which fulfill NSM general education expectations and are appropriate for non-science majors. Students may also enroll in the Introductory Chemistry Laboratory (CHEM152) to supplement their coursework with hands-on experience.

Students with advanced preparation in chemistry are encouraged to enroll in Honors General Chemistry (CHEM145), a one-semester alternative to CHEM141/CHEM142. This course offers an enriched curriculum that explores the breadth of general chemistry topics in greater depth. Students taking CHEM145 are also encouraged to enroll in the Introductory Chemistry Laboratory (CHEM152).
