of the Division Chair.<br />
MBA Preparation Series<br />
The MBA Preparation Series is available to undergraduate students<br />
who seek to pursue admission to the <strong>Walsh</strong> <strong>University</strong> MBA<br />
Program under Option II. To satisfy Option II, the student must complete<br />
these courses with a grade of B or better in each course.<br />
Enrollment in MBA-P courses requires the permission of the MBA<br />
Program Director. MBA-P credit hours are included in the undergraduate's<br />
18 credit hours for tuition purposes, may satisfy elective<br />
credits in the student's degree requirements and grades earned are<br />
calculated in the undergraduate GPA.<br />
MBA-P 501 Quantitative Literacy 2 sem. hrs.<br />
and Statistics<br />
By extensively utilizing Microsoft Excel, this course will focus on<br />
practical mathematical and statistical concepts that have required<br />
applications in quantitative MBA courses. Topics include algebraic<br />
functions, graphing systems of equations, measures of central tendency<br />
and dispersion, and probability distributions. By permission<br />
only. Offered fall, spring and summer semesters.<br />
MBA-P 502 Concepts in Accounting 2 sem. hrs.<br />
and Finance<br />
This course represents a study of accounting fundamentals and financial<br />
decision-making concepts. The course will prepare students for<br />
Managerial Accounting and Financial Management of the MBA<br />
Program. Topics include but are not limited to financial statements<br />
and analysis, Cash Flow, Capital Budgeting, and Time Value Money<br />
concepts by applying the business calculator (Texas Instruments BA<br />
II or HP 10B, 12C or a comparable financial calculator). By permission<br />
only. Offered fall, spring, and summer semesters.<br />

CHEMISTRY (CHEM)<br />
CHEM 100 Introduction to Chemistry 3 sem. hrs.<br />
This course is designed for students who have had little or no<br />
chemistry experience prior to attending <strong>Walsh</strong>. This course is<br />
mandatory for nursing-intended students who do not pass the Chem<br />
100 placement test with 70% or higher. This course provides the<br />
concepts and basic skill sets to help prepare students for Chem 109.<br />
Topics include the metric system; units; significant figures; factorlabel<br />
calculations; density; atoms, molecules and ions; basic<br />
nomenclature of inorganic salts; balancing chemical reactions;<br />
mass-mole relationships; basic algebra; logarithms; basics of acidbase<br />
chemistry; basic chemical bonding; and an introduction to<br />
Lewis structures and VSEPR geometries. The course is taught at a<br />
pace to enable substantial repetition and skill development. The<br />
course is problem-solving intensive and all students must have a<br />
basic scientific calculator. This course is offered fall and spring<br />
semester every year. 3 hours of lecture per week.<br />
CHEM 101 Principles of Chemistry I 3 sem. hrs.<br />
Principles of Chemistry I is designed to help students learn key concepts<br />
and skills in chemistry including data management; atoms,<br />
molecules and ions; chemical reactions and stoichiometry, gas<br />
behavior; thermochemistry, atomic theory & quantum mechanics,<br />
and chemical bonding. The course is taught using a combination of<br />
interactive lecture, chemical & multi-media demonstrations, group<br />
dynamics and problem solving. This course is intended for students<br />
who are chemistry or biology majors or education majors with a<br />
concentration in the sciences. Consequently, must place in Math 104<br />
or higher, and a strong background in high school chemistry is very<br />
helpful. This course is offered every Fall semester. Taking the lab in<br />
conjunction with the course is highly recommended. 3 hours of lecture<br />
and one 3 hour lab per week.<br />
CHEM 101L Principles of Chemistry Lab I 1 sem hrs.<br />
This lab experience is designed to compliment Chem 101 lecture. A<br />
strong focus is placed on proper methods for measuring data (mass,<br />
volume, length, etc...), proper use of significant figures; basic statistical<br />
methods; graphing and data presentation; laboratory safety and<br />
proper scientific report writing. Experiments include, but are not limited<br />
to, determination of densities of materials; gravimetric analysis;<br />
volumetric analysis (acid-base titrations, etc...); quantitative analysis<br />
using spectrophotometry; calorimetry and other labs as time permits.<br />
For most experiments, students work independently, but teamwork is<br />
also encouraged in certain situations. This lab is offered only in the<br />
fall semester every year. One 3-hour lab period per week.<br />
CHEM 102 Principles of Chemistry II 4 sem. hrs.<br />
Principles of Chemistry II continues to build on POC I. Topics<br />
include chemical bonding, molecular geometry, solution chemistry,<br />
chemical kinetics, equilibrium, acid-base chemistry, complex ions,<br />
thermodynamic state functions, electrochemistry and nuclear chemistry.<br />
This course emphasizes the integrated nature of chemistry and<br />
provides numerous practical applications of chemistry in materials<br />
science, medicine, Pharmaceuticals and food science. A working<br />
knowledge of basic algebra, logarithms, and graphing is vital.<br />
Prerequisite: Successful completion of Chem 101. Offered every<br />
Spring semester. Taking the lab in conjunction with the course is<br />
highly recommended. 3 hours of lecture and one 3 hour lab per week.
