BCTC offers both community college courses (CHM prefix) as well as University of Kentucky chemistry courses (CHE) which do transfer to UK. Several sections of CHE 104, CHE 105, CHE 107 and CHE 115 are offered during both the fall and spring semesters. One section of CHE 106 is offered only during the spring semester. The lab courses CHM 105 and CHM 107 are offered in both semesters. Sections of CHE 230 Organic Chemistry I and CHE 232 Organic Chemistry II are generally offered in both semesters. CHE 231 was offered for the first and only time in the fall of 2000. It is unknown when the organic chemistry labs will be taught through BCTC again. The BCTC summer schedule typically includes only CHE 104, CHE 105 and CHM 105 in both six week sessions.
A study of the general principles including laws of definite and multiple proportions, stoichiometry, gases, electronic structure, chemical bonding, periodic relationships, oxidation-reduction, acids/bases, and chemical equilibrium. Intended for students interested in a one semester course in general chemistry and recommended for students seeking careers in nursing, nutrition and allied health science fields. Not open to students who have already completed both CHE 105 and CHE 107. Prereq: Two years high school algebra and Math ACTE of 19 or above (or Math placement test), or completion of MA 108.
A study of the principles of chemistry and their application to the more important elements and their compounds. Not open to students who have already completed both CHE 104 and CHE 106, but is open to students who have completed just CHE 104. Prereq: Math ACT of 21 or above, or MA 109 (or Math placement test), or CHM 102 or CHM 100.
