Is a work-experience opportunity with the purpose of expanding education by applying accumulated knowledge in chemistry. The availability of internships is limited to upper-level students, normally juniors and seniors with a 2.5 quality point average. Students are approved individually by the academic department. A contract can be obtained from the Career Planning and Services Office in Starvaggi Hall. Internships count as general electives.
Chemistry senior standing and permission of the department chair. Internships must be preapproved.
Continues the study of inorganic chemistry with focus on coordination chemistry, molecular symmetry, and organometallic compounds and reactions.
Deals with the chemico-physiological nature of biological systems, focusing on macromolecules. Relationships between the structure and functions of water, proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates and lipids are discussed. The function and kinetics of enzymes are also covered.
Deals with the chemico-physiological nature of biological systems, focusing on metabolism. The reactions, functions, and thermodynamics of the major metabolic pathways are discussed in detail.
Provides hands on experience for students with principles and methods learned in Foundations of Biochemistry I and II.
Investigates an understanding of the reactions of organic compounds via a study of the structure of these compounds and the mechanisms of the reactions they undergo. Three lecture periods per week.
Departmental permission
Requires the preparation of a scholarly treatise on an assigned topic in chemistry. The topic is typically the research project of CHM 437.
Provides the student with the opportunity to pursue a research project. Students will choose a research project that is of special interest to them, then conduct laboratory experiments of their own design after consultation with the chemistry faculty. This course may be repeated.
Permission of instructor.
