Chemistry Intensive

Experience chemistry in the small, supportive academic setting that you expect from Wesleyan. This intensive session of introductory chemistry - a full year taken in under 10 weeks - is enhanced with class meetings every day and a low student to teacher ratio. Enrollment is very limited, and students are encouraged to register early to guarantee their place in class.

Session I

Wednesday May 25 – through Tuesday June 21
Exam period Wednesday/Thursday June 22-23

CHEM141 Introductory Chemistry I
Andrea Roberts

This course emphasizes rigorous descriptive reasoning. While intended for students with little or no previous background in chemistry, the course is taught at a relatively high level. The topical coverage emphasizes the relationships between electronic structure, chemical reactivity, and the physical properties of the elements and their compounds.

Session II Courses
Tuesday June 28 through Tuesday July 26
Exam period Wednesday/Thursday July 27-28

CHEM142 Introductory Chemistry II
Andrea Roberts

This course is a continuation of CHEM141. CHEM152, the associated laboratory course, may be taken concurrently. The lab should be taken by those who plan to take more than one year of chemistry.

CHEM152 Introductory Chemistry II Lab (.25 cr) 
Suara Adediran

This course provides an introduction to the application of chemical concepts in the laboratory. The course will focus on practical aspects of fractional distillation, qualitative inorganic analysis, and synthesis of inorganic compounds.
