Graduate Courses
Graduate coursework to be used towards a M.A. or Ph.D. degree may be completed at Bryn Mawr College and at the University of Pennsylvania.
CHEM 311/511 Advanced Organic Chemistry
A survey of the methods and concepts used in the synthesis of complex organic molecules.
Malachowski,B.
CHEM 312/512 Advanced Organic Chemistry
Principles of physical organic chemistry with emphasis on reaction mechanisms, reactive intermediates and stereochemistry.
Schmink,J.
CHEM 515 Medicinal Chemistry
A survey of topics related to drug discovery including lead discovery, target interactions, structural optimization, drug metabolism, and drug synthesis. The course will engage in an advanced treatment of these topics with particular attention to an understanding of drug design and development on the molecular level. Case studies will be used to illustrate the application of these principles. Discussions may include OxyContin and related opiate analgesics; aspirin and related NSAIDs; penicillin and other antibacterial agents; Tamiflu and related anti-virals; Alzheimer's disease drugs; and anti-depressants.
