immunology and pathology. The laboratory component
will build basic skills necessary to perform

and interpret research in the fields of medical
microbiology, industrial microbiology, environmental
microbiology, immunology and virology. A basic
knowledge of biology will be presumed, including
basic cell biology, ecology, physiology, biochemistry
and metabolism.

CHEM 122 - GENERAL CHEMISTRY |

CHEM 122: General Chemistry L is an introductory
general chemistry course leading into science or
engineering programs for students who have a
solid chemistry background, including Chemistry 12
or equivalent. After a short review of fundamental
chemistry, classical and quantum mechanical
concepts are used to discuss atomic and molecular
structure. The course ends with an investigation

of intermolecular forces in liquids and solids.

The lab work stresses scientific observations and
measurements using chemical syntheses and
quantitative analyses.

Pre-requisites: CHEM 12 or CHEM 62/63 or CHEM 110,
and Pre-calculus Math 11 (Principles of MATH 11) or
Math oso or MATH 52/53, each with a “C” or better.
Pre-calculus Math 12 (Principles of Math 12) or Math 051
or MATH 62/63 is recormmended.

CHEM 125 - FOUNDATIONS OF CHEMISTRY II

CHEM 125: Fundamentals of Chemistry II is the
continuation for either CHEM 110 or CHEM 122.

The course consists of two major units: physical
chemistry and organic chemistry. The study of
physical chemistry begins with an investigation of
reaction rates (kinetics), followed by the principles
of equilibria applied to pure substances and aqueous
solutions, and an introduction to the laws of
thermodynamics. The second major unit is a survey
of the field of organic chemistry; topics include the
physical and chemical properties of alkanes and
alkenes, stereochemistry, and addition, substitution,
and elimination reactions. The laboratory work
involves the measurement of physical and chemical
properties as well as chemical syntheses.

Pre-requisites: CHEM 770 or CHEM 122 with a grade of
"C" or better, or written permission of the instructor and
School Chair.

CHEM 212 - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY I

CHEM 212: Organic Chemistry I, explores the
relationship between the structures of carbon-
containing molecules and their physical and
chemical properties. Some topics from 1st-year
general chemistry are reviewed briefly: alkanes,

stereochemistry, alkenes, and nucleophilic
substitution and elimination reactions of alkyl
halides. The correlation between structure and
acidity is investigated, and the chemistry of alkynes
and alcohols is examined. Structure-determination
techniques, including IR and NMR, are explored. The
laboratory work for this course provides practical
experiences with separation/purification techniques,
molecular synthesis, and qualitative analytical
methods applied to organic compounds.

Pre-requisites: CHEM 125 with a grade of "C" or better, or
written permission of the Instructor and School Chair.

CHEM 213 - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY II

CHEM 213: Organic Chemistry IL is a continuation of
CHEM 212. The survey of organic families is continued
with a study of aldehydes and ketones, carboxylic
acid derivatives, aromatics and amines. The chemistry
of a variety of compounds of biological interest is also
discussed. The laboratory work involves synthesis
and organic structure determination.

Pre-requisites: CHEM 212 with a grade of "C" or better, or
written permission of the Instructor and School Chair.

CHEM 222 - INTRODUCTORY
PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY

CHEM 222: Introductory Physical Chemistry presents
the basic concepts of chemical thermodynamics

and equilibria. The properties of solutions,
electrochemical reactions, acidic and basic systems
are examined. The principles of reaction kinetics

are introduced. In the laboratory, some quantitative
properties of physicochemical systems are measured.

Pre-requisites: CHEM 125 and MATH 107 each with
a grade of "C" or better, or written permission of the
Instructor and School Chair.

ENGL 110 - COLLEGE COMPOSITION

English 110 is about thinking and writing. You will
learn how to develop and express informed opinions
on issues that matter. You will also learn about
research, editing, and expository and persuasive
academic writing forms.

Pre-requisites: A “C” or better in ENGL 12 or equivalent
or LPI level 4 or written permission of the Instructor and
School Chair.

ENGL 111 - INTRODUCTION TO LITERATURE

English 111 is about living more intensely. Rather
than providing answers, literature prompts us to ask
better questions of ourselves and each other. Drama,
poetry, short stories, and novels will guide us in
discussion, reflection, and writing about literature.

Pre-requisites: FNGL 110 with a grade of "C" or better or
equivalent, or written permission of the Instructor and
School Chair.

Note: English 112/114 is intended for students interested
in a literary focus.

INDG 302 - INDIGENOUS
HEALTH AND HEALING

INDG 302: Indigenous Health and Healing introduces
the topic of indigenous health and healing from the
time prior to first contact with European newcomers
through to the present. Indigenous health and healing
is explored from within a variety of indigenous
perspectives that are inclusive of the physical,
mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of health and
wellbeing. There is a focus on cultural awareness
and critical thinking on current indigenous health &
healing issues. Skill based training in cultural safety
and anti-racism based on the recommendations and
information provided by the Truth and Reconciliation
Commission results and the “Calls to Action” are
emphasized. Indigenous worldviews and “ways of
knowing” are embedded in the course delivery as
well as course content.
