This courses addresses basic concepts of chemistry as they pertain to the health sciences and is a good preparation for students who intend to pursue a career in nursing. This course will cover topics such as making measurements, dimensional analysis, atomic structure, types of bonding, as well as some introduction to reactions, particularly acids and bases. Prerequisite: high school algebra or equivalent. This course meets for 7 weeks. Core: NS
CHEM 155 Matter and Energy (3 SH)

A study of water, solutions, atomic and molecular structure, chemical bonding, and chemical reactions. Laboratory work involves quantitative, computational, and spectroscopic analyses of chemical systems that are relevant to the 'real world'. Three lectures and one laboratory period or field-trip per week. Prerequisite: an annual safety training outside of class and high school chemistry or equivalent; minimum SAT score of 530 math and 1080 composite or ACT score of 22 math and 21 total. Students without the minimum SAT or ACT score must first pass MATH 114 College Algebra with a grade of B or higher. Core: NS
CHEM 224 General Chemistry II (4 SH)

Organic chemistry is the study of the relationship between the three-dimensional structure and the reactivity of carbon compounds. The chemical and physical properties of organic compounds will be linked to an understanding of orbital theory, electronegativity, strain, and sterics. Reactions of simple organic compounds will be described in terms of electron movement (mechanisms) and kinetic vs. thermodynamic parameters. The laboratory will emphasize development of purification, isolation, and identification techniques, particularly chromatography, infrared spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic spectroscopy. Three lectures and one four-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: a grade of at least "C" in CHEM 224 and an annual safety training outside of class. Core: NS
CHEM 316 Organic Chemistry II (4 SH)

This interdisciplinary core course will introduce students to public health in the US and globally using a social justice lens and emphasizing the interconnectedness of population and individual health. This course will cover foundational elements of public health, including its history and impact, the importance of health equity and human rights, and how racism manifests and is perpetuated within public health and healthcare systems. This is a foundational course for the public health program. Core: NS
PH 231 Foundations of Public Health Immunology (3 SH)
...
The first semester of an algebra-based introductory physics sequence. This course is an introduction to classical mechanics, gravity, heat, and sound. Lectures cover the circumstances of important original discoveries and the related concepts and theories. Through laboratory experimentation and reporting, students may learn procedures by which scientists acquire and analyze data, methods by which scientists develop and evaluate theories, and criteria for effectively communicating scientific or technical findings. A major objective of this course is to equip students with a broad foundation of fundamental physical concepts and principles. Core: NS
PHYS 162 College Physics II Lecture (3 SH)
...
The first semester of a calculus-based introductory physics sequence that aims to develop understanding of basic physical principles, problem-solving ability, and fluency with mathematical formulas. Topics include conservation laws, Newtonian mechanics, oscillatory motion, and relativity. Must be taken concurrently with PHYS 253. Prerequisite: MATH 154 or MATH 185. Core: NS
PHYS 253 University Physics I Lab (1 SH)
