Chemistry Field Guide

Note: This guide is intended primarily for Truman State University students but can be of use to everyone.

The links below point you to many useful items that will aid your success in the chemistry program at Truman. Some of the links point to items that have been prepared locally, but others point to sites the faculty think may be useful as well. If you come across an item that you think would be useful to include, or if you run into dead links, please let Dr. Brian Lamp know.

Course prerequisite, corequisite, and availability information for all chemistry courses is available in this table.
