Spring 2026

• CH 126 Principles of Chemistry
• CH 126 has the same course description as CH 125. CH 126 is only offered in the spring semester and has a prerequisite of CH 115.
• CH 221 Organic Chemistry I
• CH 222 Organic Chemistry II
• CH 232 Analytical Methods in Chemistry
• CH 333 Quantum Chemistry with Lab
• CH 341 Biochemistry: Macromolecular Structure and Function with Lab
• CH 342 Biochemistry: Intermediary Metabolism
• CH 351C Experimental Biochemistry Lab: Computational Methods (counts as CH 343 for the biochemistry concentration), Instructor:  K. Aurelia Ball: A project-driven laboratory course to provide advanced training in biochemistry research using computational methods. The course will introduce computational biophysics of intrinsically disordered proteins and protein-protein interactions. Students will learn to run molecular dynamics programs to simulate how a protein moves over time. Students will also learn how to write programs in python to analyze the data from the simulations, and other computational skills that are relevant to many modern scientific disciplines. Students will be asked to apply previously learned biochemical knowledge and skills to answer an open question in computational biochemistry. Emphasis is placed on the proper collection, interpretation, synthesis, and presentation of computational results.
• CH 351C Special Topics In Chemistry, Atmospheric Chemistry, Instructor: Juan Navea: This course introduces students to the physical and chemical processes that govern the Earth’s atmosphere and climate. Topics include the mechanisms regulating energy flow in the atmosphere, global chemical cycles, and the role of atmospheric aerosols and solar radiation in atmospheric chemistry and climate. Additionally, we will examine how human activities impact the chemical balance of the atmosphere. 3 credits. Prerequisite CH 222 or permission of the instructor.
