Chemistry is often called the central science as it deals specifically
with the 110 elements that comprise all matter.
The air we breathe, water we drink, food we eat, buildings we live in, cars
we drive - our very bodies - are all made from these elements. Chemists pursue
the study of matter down to the level of individual atoms, and, in particular,
focus on molecules, which are aggregates of elements that act as larger units.
Hence, knowledge of chemistry is required for all fields of scientific endeavor:
engineering, physics, biology, and medicine. At the same time, chemistry makes
use of the tools of mathematics and physics. A thorough grounding in math is
an essential requirement of success in chemical studies. Chemistry is a major
for the broad-minded individual who is interested in integrating both qualitative
and quantitative aspects of knowledge.

Chemistry & Biochemistry 4000 Courses
These are tentative course outlines and are subject to change.
Advanced Chemistry or Biochemistry courses can be taken more than once provided the content, as identified by the title, is different in any two offerings.
Chemistry or Biochemistry 4000 courses are usually offered each semester and offerings will normally not be repeated within a two-year cycle (e.g. Practical Spectroscopy and Advanced Molecular Modeling were offered in Spring 2008 and will not be offered again until at least 2010).
Click on the text for a PDF of the course outline or contact the professor for more information about the course. Some courses are scheduled to be taught in the next calendar year. This is indicated by the semester and year in brackets after the professor's name.
