This course is designed to meet the requirements for a laboratory science course for students who do not plan to major in Biology or Chemistry. The course will not meet requirements for Nursing or other Health Careers students. In addition to providing an introduction to some basic concepts of Chemistry, the course is designed to acquaint students with the impact of current science and technology on their everyday lives by examining the chemistry of life, food additives, drug, detergents, cosmetics, paints, space, and others. The course will not count toward a Chemistry major or minor. Laboratory fee.
