Chemistry courses provide preparation for science, pre-medicine and health science disciplines. These courses satisfy the Natural Science Lab (NS-L) graduation distribution requirement. In addition to the Student Core Learning Outcomes, the Program Specific Outcomes include: • Apply quantitative analysis to solve problems: by solving problems through the use of algebra, analyzing and predicting outcomes from graphical data, and converting between scientific units. • Apply the scientific method: by forming hypothesis based upon observations, design and implement simple experiments, and draw reasonable conclusions. • Critically evaluate the science related content: by interpreting data from graphs and tables. • Effectively communicate scientific processes: by writing laboratory reports that includes data in tabular and graphical format, and summarizing results to explain the phenomena studied.
