Long Island is a great place in the summer. Go to the beach. Have a barbecue. Go to the City. Better yet combine these activities with an exciting summer chemistry course at Stony Brook!
Our summer chemistry courses are open to college students from around the country and around the world. Long Island natives who go to Universities elsewhere, but who are back for the summer are particularly welcome.

We offer courses in General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry and Physical Chemistry. We also offer a course on chemical demonstrations for High School teachers.
Course Descriptions
Learning Strategies Essential for Success in Chemistry
As a new course offering, CHE 125 focuses on developing techniques, strategies, and advanced learning skills that are essential for success in college-level chemistry. Real world contexts, issues, and problems are explored from a chemistry perspective. Provides a bridge from high school to college courses and from CHE 131 to CHE 132. A grade of C or higher in CHE 125 satisfies the prerequisite for entry into CHE 132, provided CHE 129 or CHE 131 have been completed with a passing grade (D or higher).
General Chemistry
Our General Chemistry lecture course sequence is CHE 131-132 General Chemistry I and II. It is a standard university level course that prepares students for further study in the chemical and biological sciences. CHE 131 and 132 meet the introductory chemistry requirement for students preparing for medical school. Each course is 4 credits.
The General Chemistry laboratory course sequence is CHE 133-134 General Chemistry Laboratory I and II. CHE 133 and 134 meet the introductory chemistry laboratory requirement for students in chemistry, the biological sciences and students preparing for medical school. Each course is 1 credit.
Physical Chemistry
CHE 312 is our Physical Chemistry short course, intended primarily for students of the biological sciences. The course covers the fundamental concepts of chemical thermodynamics (foundations, multiphase systems, solutions of electrolytes and of non-electrolytes, chemical equilibrium), electrochemistry (electrochemical cells), transport processes, and chemical kinetics, with special emphasis on applications to biological systems. The course is for 3 credits.

Organic Chemistry
Our Organic Chemistry lecture course sequence is CHE 321-322 Organic Chemistry I and II. It is a standard university level course that prepares students for further study in the chemical and biological sciences. CHE 321 and 322 meet the introductory chemistry requirement for students preparing for medical school. Each course is 4 credits.
The Organic Chemistry laboratory course is CHE 327 Organic Chemistry Laboratory . CHE 327 meets the organic chemistry laboratory requirement for students in the biological sciences and students preparing for medical school. Chemistry majors should not take this course. They should take the CHE 383-384 laboratory course during the academic year. The CHE 327 course is 2 credits.
Graduate Course
We offer one summer graduate course, CHE 593 Chemical Demonstrations. The course covers the design and implementation of demonstrations to illustrate modern concepts of chemistry. CHE 593 is taught by experienced high school teachers for the benefit of in-service teachers who want to spice up their courses and enhance student interest.
