COURSE CURRICULUM

The Chemistry curriculum at Auburn University at Montgomery in Montgomery includes a comprehensive range of courses designed to provide students with a strong foundation in chemical principles, laboratory techniques, and related scientific disciplines. The program begins with introductory and foundational courses such as Fundamentals of Chemistry and General Chemistry I and II, along with their laboratory components. These courses introduce students to essential chemical concepts, experimental procedures, and analytical skills that are necessary for advanced study. Students then progress to more specialized areas of chemistry, including Quantitative Analysis, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Inorganic Chemistry. Laboratory courses accompany many of these subjects, giving students hands-on experience in chemical experimentation, data collection, and scientific analysis.As students advance in the program, they explore more complex topics such as Environmental Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, and Instrumental Analysis. These courses focus on understanding chemical processes, thermodynamics, analytical techniques, and the application of chemistry in environmental and industrial contexts. Biochemistry courses further expand students’ knowledge of chemical processes within living organisms, while advanced topics and research courses allow students to explore specific areas of interest in greater depth. Opportunities such as research projects, special topics courses, and senior thesis work enable students to develop independent research skills and gain practical experience in scientific investigation.The curriculum also integrates related science courses in physics and physical sciences, including Algebra-based Physics, General Physics, Earth Science, Astronomy, and introductory physical science courses. These subjects help students develop a broader scientific perspective and strengthen their understanding of the physical principles that support chemical processes. Additional seminars, mentoring programs, and pre-health studies courses provide guidance for students interested in pursuing professional careers in science or healthcare.
