voicings. Prerequisite: CDMU-2600 Introduction to Conducting or
permission of the instructor. (Fee: $20)
CDMU-4990 Independent Study in Conducting 1–3 hours
Independent and intensive study in a particular area of
conducting for individual students who demonstrate special
interests and ability. Prerequisite: CDMU-3620 Instrumental
Conducting; CDMU-3630 Choral Methods; or equivalent.
Chemistry: General Education (CHEM)
Except where noted, general education courses are designed
to meet the general education requirements for graduation. These
courses will not count toward graduation requirements for majors
found in the Department of Science and Mathematics unless they
are specifically listed in the curriculum requirements for a major.
A student majoring in science or mathematics may take these
courses only as electives. However, any course listed for a science
or mathematics major or minor may also count toward fulfilling
general education requirements.

(Fee: $75)
Chemistry: Major (CHEM)
CHEM-1110 General Chemistry I
–Fa
4 hours
Fundamental concepts of physical, inorganic, and analytical
chemistry are developed. Students are introduced to the
physical chemistry concepts of atomic theory, chemical bonding,
molecular structure, intermolecular forces, states of matter,
and thermodynamics. Inorganic concepts of reaction types and
stoichiometry are included. Lab stresses analytical techniques
including quantitation, separation, titration, and statistical analysis
of data. Many of the lab reports require use of spreadsheets or
other computer software. Three lectures and one three-hour lab
per week. Prerequisite: satisfactory performance on the chemistry
placement exam. (Fee: $100)
CHEM-1120 General Chemistry II
–Sp
4 hours
A continuation of General Chemistry I, including the physical
chemistry concepts of kinetics and equilibrium. Inorganic topics
include acids and bases, oxidation-reduction reactions, nuclear
chemistry, and the descriptive chemistry of the main group and
transition metal elements. Lab exercises stress quantitative
analytical techniques and application of visible light spectroscopy.
Lab reports require use of spreadsheets or other computer
software and statistical analysis of data. Three lectures and
one three-hour lab per week. Prerequisite: CHEM-1110 General
Chemistry I. (Fee: $100)
CHEM-2210 Analytical Chemistry I
–Fa
3 hours
A study of the fundamental concepts and skills of analytical
chemistry including measurement, statistical treatment of
data, equilibrium constant calculations, acid-base equilibria,
electrochemistry, and volumetric analysis. The laboratory sessions
focus on volumetric methods such as precipitation titrations,
acid-base titrations, complexation titrations, and redox titrations in
which accurate measurement of volume is essential. Two lectures
and one three-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: CHEM-1120
