This course, General Chemistry I, examines topics such as the nature and properties of matter; atoms, molecules and ions as basic building blocks of matter; measurement in chemistry; calculations involving chemical formulas and equations; general properties of aqueous solutions; electronic structure of atoms; periodic properties of the elements; basic concepts of chemical bonding; concepts in thermochemistry; characteristics of gases.

This course, General Chemistry I Laboratory, is designed to reinforce some of the concepts discussed in the General Chemistry I lecture (CHEM 122). It exposes them to basic technical and safety skills required for a chemistry laboratory. It also allows students to apply the scientific process while examining topics such as properties of matter, measurements, chemical formulas, thermochemistry, and basic concepts of bonding and molecular structure.

CHEM 124, General Chemistry II this course examines topics such as the impact of intermolecular forces on the physical properties of solutions; chemical kinetics and chemical equilibrium; acid – base and other types of equilibria; chemical thermodynamics and the role of entropy in chemical reactions;  electrochemistry with the emphasis on oxidation-reduction reactions.

General Chemistry II/Lab this course examines topics such as the impact of intermolecular forces on the physical properties of solutions; chemical kinetics and chemical equilibrium; acid — base and other types of equilibria; chemical thermodynamics and the role of entropy in chemical reactions; electrochemistry with the emphasis on oxidation-reduction reactions.

This course introduces students to the basic practical and safety techniques required for a chemistry laboratory. It allows students to apply the scientific process and develop critical analytical and technical skills through experiments on gas laws, properties of solutions; chemical kinetics and chemical equilibrium; acid-base equilibria; oxidation-reduction reactions.

This course is the first semester one in a one-year course in Organic Chemistry for Pre-Clin, Pre-Vet and Biology students. It includes: the nomenclature and classification of organic molecules; the structure and reactivity of the hydrocarbons (alkanes, alkenes, alkynes), alkyl halides and alcohols; the study of substitution and elimination reaction mechanisms; and an introduction to stereochemistry.

This course, Organic Chemistry I Laboratory, is the laboratory component of CHEM 222. It gives students taking CHEM 222 the opportunity to carry out experiments which augment the content they have covered in the classroom. It included experiments to demonstrate the chemical reactions of alkanes alkyl halides and alcohols, and molecular geometry.

Organic Chemistry II is a continuation of the material covered in CHEM 222. Both constitute the one-year organic chemistry required by most professional schools. Lecture topics include but not limited to the structure, reactivity and synthesis of carbonyl compounds (Aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, anhydrides, acyl halides, esters and amides), amines, aromatic compounds, and biologically related molecules (Carbohydrates, amino acids, and proteins). The course will also provide an introduction to spectroscopy used for the characterization of chemical structures in organic chemistry.

This course, Organic Chemistry II Laboratory, is meant to reinforce some of the organic chemistry concepts in CHEM 224, especially characteristic reactions used in identifying the different functional groups in organic chemistry. Students will carry out physical and chemical experimental methods, used to identify organic compounds and also carry out some reactions that would synthesize some specific organic compounds.

An 8 week course in Organic Chemistry for Post Baccalaureate students.  This course is an introduction to biochemistry and more advanced organic chemistry and synthesis.

This course is designed to introduce students to the chemistry of living systems at cellular and molecular levels an be able to relate biochemical pathways to human health and disease conditions.

Living organisms are construed principally from macromolecules, ie proteins, lipids etc. In addition certain proteins (enzymes) catalyze most of the reactions occurring within cells. This course is designed to deal with the structure and function of proteins (including enzymes, cofactors and antibodies), carbohydrates, nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) and lipids (including membranes structure). All cells require a continual supply of energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This course begins by describing the structure and significance of ATP and explains how ATP is synthesized. The key process of the TCA cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, glycolysis and fatty acid degradation will all be described. The course will also explain how macromolecules such as carbohydrates and lipids are synthesized from simpler precursors.
