Presents basic inorganic and organic principles to students with little or no chemistry background. Taught as pass/fail, the course can be taken in subsequent semesters as necessary until course objectives are completed. The credits are not applicable to any of the college's academic programs, although high school level chemistry or higher may be required for entrance into certain programs. The credits do not transfer.  Prerequisite: MTH 3 or equivalent. Lecture 4 hours per week.

Emphasizes experimental and theoretical aspects of inorganic, organic, and biological chemistry. Discusses general chemistry concepts as they apply to issues within our society and environment. Designed for the non-science major. Part I of II.  While there are no prerequisites, MTH 3 (high school algebra I) or equivalent is recommended. Lecture 3 hours. Laboratory 3 hours. Total 6 hours per week.
