This course is designed for biology, premedical, prenursing, preclinical and prehealth students.

Learning Objectives

 
  • Gain an understanding of the global connections between chemical cycles and human activities
  • Know how chemical theories are applied to understand and model global processes
  • Understand how global relations affect the flow of chemical systems in the environment inways that impact your life and the lives of others
  • Explain how chemistry impacts human life

Course Format

 

This course is offered in an online asynchronous format. There are no set meeting times, however, students follow a weekly schedule and there will be deadlines to meet in terms of course requirements. This course cannot be completed at an accelerated rate.

Course Developer

 
All sections use content developed by Dr. Tobey Tam, ensuring a consistent and high-quality learning experience across all offerings. To accommodate demand, we have co-instructors leading sections of his material. Regardless of the instructor, the course content remains the same, maintaining the integrity and rigor of Dr. Tam's course design.
 

Transferring for College Credit

 

Many UC San Diego Division of Extended Studies courses may transfer to other institutions for college credit. We recommend contacting your intended institution's registrar's office before enrolling to confirm transfer eligibility.

About the Lab Component

This course includes a hands on laboratory involving multi-day experiments that the student performs at home.  Except for a few household items, all the materials are included in the lab kit that students must purchase separately, for an additional fee, from HOL Sciences/Science Interactive.

To purchase your lab kit, please use the link provided in the section note.
 We recommend you order your kits at least two to three weeks before the course begins to account for processing times.
