Course Descriptions

The first semester of a comprehensive two-semester general chemistry course. General principles of chemistry are introduced, including atomic structure, the periodic table, chemical calculations, classification of chemical reactions, nomenclature, kinetic theory of gases, ionic and covalent bonding, liquids and intermolecular forces to provide a thorough treatment of chemical principles. The course includes both laboratory and lecture. (CHM 092 or high school chemistry is strongly recommended). This course carries SUNY General Education Natural Sciences (and Scientific Reasoning) credit.Prerequisite: Successful completion of MAT-097 or placement into Math

Minority Groups in Film fosters awareness of cultures deemed "other," according to ethnicity, sexuality, or identity by the mainstream society of the United States. Utilization of films from, by, and/or about these groups, as well as documentaries, will provide an artistic and historical representation of these cultures. This course also analyzes films as they relate to social issues dealing with minorities. This course carries SUNY General Education The Arts credit.Prerequisite: Take ENG-101 with a Minimum Grade of C-
