CHM 099   Pre-A&P Foundations in Chemistry (2)

Prerequisites: MAT 097 or MAT 098 with a passing grade

This course will serve as a chemistry prerequisite for Anatomy and Physiology I for students. This will not replace CHM 101/103 or CHM 106 in a degree, and does not serve as a general education course. It is assumed this is the first chemistry course taken by the student. Topics include structure of atoms, bonding, solutions, acid-base, chemical reactions, energy and gases. This course will be graded on a Pass/Fail basis.  This course does not count toward graduation.

Course Type(s):

CHM 101   Introduction to Chemistry (3)
