Undergraduate Courses
General Physics 1 (PHYS2000)
This course explores classical physics including topics: motion, forces, gravity, energy, momentum, rotation, equilibrium, fluids, oscillations. The course is designed for students interested in biological and chemical science and for pre-health students. It is taught at the algebra/trigonometry level and it incorporates hands-on activities, conceptual understanding and mathematical problem solving. Course information
General Physics 2 (PHYS2100)
This course explores the early works by scientists such as Ampere, Faraday, and Young that led to the classical electromaganetic theory of light. The course includes electric charge, electric circuits, magnetism, radiation, and optics. The course is designed for students interested in biological and chemical science and for pre-health students. It is taught at the algebra/trigonometry level and it incorporates hands-on activities, conceptual understanding and mathematical problem solving. Course information
Biochemistry 1 (CHEM4100)
This course combines biolgoy and chemistry to study living matter. The study of the molecular composition of living cells, the organization of biological molecules within the cell, the structure and function and regulation of these biological molecules are taught. Course information
Biochemistry 2 (CHEM4500)
This course explores advanced topics in biochemistry including metabolism and regulation. It is an upper division elective course and offered every other year in the Spring. Course information
Quantitative Analysis (CHEM4000/4005)
This course is also called analytical chemistry and explores the study of statistical data analysis, standardization of data, stoichiometric calculations, solubility, acids and bases, and electrochemistry. It is taught every other year alternating with spectroscopic analysis (CHEM4200) course in the Spring semester. Course information
Physical Chemistry 1 (CHEM4605)
This course explores experimental methods to study thermodynamics and kinetics. There are 7 experiments and require students to apply principles presented in the physical chemistry lecture. Course information
Physical Chemistry 2 (CHEM4700/4705)
This course covers quantum mechanics and spectroscopy. Starting with electrons and nuclei, we will arrive at a quantum-mechanical description of the atom. The course allows students to experience the heated discussion in the early 20th century that lead us to the modern science. Course information
Research Courses
Research Methodology 1 (BIO/CHEM2990)
This course introduces students to different fields and methods of research in the department.
