Course Proposal: Modify Course
This proposal will change the following elements of the course.
Prerequisites
1. Course prefix and number: CHE 302
2. Effective Year/Term: FALL 2012
3. CIP CODE/10 digit program code: 4005010002
4. Short Course Title: Fundamental Applications of Chemistry
Modified Short Course Title: NA
5. What is the primary reason you are modifying this course?
The current prerequisites for CHE 302 are unnecessary and complicate the registration process.
This course was designed specifically for those students wanting to teaching in the elementary/middle
school grades. It is assumed that the students in CHE 302 have no prior knowledge in chemistry making
any prerequisites unnecessary. During the past several years, there have been a number of students
(transfer students or ones who have changed their majors) that have not met the current prerequisites
but were very successful in the course. We are requesting permission to eliminate all current prerequisites
for CHE 302.
6. Enter course description exactly as it now appears in the general/graduate bulletin.
Presentation of the applications of chemistry and chemical principles to everyday life with an
emphasis on hands-on investigations. May not be used to meet graduation requirements by students
majoring/minoring in the College of Sciences and Mathematics.
