Chemistry: Non-Major and
Preparatory Courses
The Physical
Sciences Department at Takoma Park/Silver
Spring offers the following courses for
non-majors and students who are preparing
to take college chemistry courses.
Courses Offered:
CH 109A Chemistry and Society
A chemistry course designed for non-science majors. Alone the course
can be used as a three credit natural
science non-laboratory distribution
course (NSND). If combined with CH 109B,
both courses count as a four-credit
natural science laboratory distribution
course (NSLD).
CH 109B Chemistry and Society Lab
A laboratory course for non-science majors that provides experiments and other related work for CH 109A.
CH 100A Introductory College Chemistry
Introduction to basic concepts of chemistry, including fundamental
chemical mathematics, the elements,
basic chemical and physical properties,
formulas, stoichiometry, and other
topics. This course should be taken by
students who need to take a college
level chemistry course but have never
had chemistry before or have taken
chemistry over 5 years ago, as well as
students who want to enter Takoma Park's
Nursing Program.
CH 100B Introductory College Chemistry Lab
A laboratory course that provides experiments and other types of lab
work that reinforce the concepts taught
in CH 100A. Students who are taking CH
100A can take this course in the same
semester that they take CH 100A or any
semester thereafter.
