The physical and biological sequelae of radiation effects will be discussed emphasizing human and mammalian responses and radiation health. Emphasis will be for health and medical workers.

Review of current literature in microbiology; presentation of papers on work in progress in the department or on assigned topics; reports on meetings of national and international scientific and professional societies and symposia. Required of all graduate students. Two hours per week. May be repeated nine times for a maximum of 10 credits.

A conceptual introduction to the molecular nature of natural and manmade materials as well as the key molecules of biological organisms. The important classes of molecules will be discussed in terms of their properties and impact on our everyday real world experience.

A study of the basic concepts of general, organic, and biological chemistry. Topics include electronic structure of atoms and molecules, periodicity of the elements, stoichiometry, states of matter, kinetics, equilibria, acids and bases, organic functional groups, stereochemistry, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and enzymes. Topics are presented with an emphasis on application to the allied health professions.

A study of general principles, including laws of definite and multiple proportions, stoichiometry, gases, electronic structure, chemical bonding, periodic relationships, oxidation-reduction, chemical equilibrium and acids/ bases. Not open to students who have already completed both CHE 105 and CHE 107. Not recommended for students seeking careers in science, engineering, medicine, pharmacy or dentistry for which the recommended sequence is CHE 105/107

A laboratory course, to accompany CHE 105 or CHE 110, dealing with the properties of chemical substances and providing an introduction to quantitative chemical analysis.

A laboratory course, to accompany CHE 107, emphasizing qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis.

Peer-led team problem solving. Two-hour workshop offered on a pass-fail basis only. Enrollment in CHE 230 need not be accompanied by enrollment in CHE 295.

A one-semester survey of thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, and quantum chemistry with an elementary introduction to spectroscopy. Prereq: PHY 213 or PHY 232; MA 114; CHE 226 or MA 213.
