Chemistry for Health Professions

College Science Course Description, Prerequisites and Textbooks

Chemistry for Health Professions (CHEM305) - Course Description

Chemistry for Health Professions (CHEM305) requires eight weekends to complete. The accelerated chemistry classes are held on Saturdays and Sundays from 9:00am to 6:00pm.
(5 Semester Units, includes lab)

The Chemistry for Health Professions course focuses on the chemistry of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen containing compounds and examines the structures, properties, nomenclature, reactivity and, in some cases, synthesis of simple organic molecules. The structures and functions of biological macromolecules and common biochemical pathways will also be examined as well as their relationship to patient health. This weekend chemistry course is a one-semester equivalent course that introduces the fundamental concepts of organic chemistry and biochemistry and meets requirements for pre-nursing curriculums.

Chemistry for Health Professions (CHEM305) - Prerequisites

High School Diploma or equivalent, and General Chemistry 1 or equivalent.
