Summer Catalog

From packaging to electronics, petrochemicals underpin a vast array of everyday goods, from packaging to electronics. Guided by the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry, this course takes a sustainability-focused look at modern synthetic chemistry. Students will evaluate risks and long-term impacts, compare synthetic routes using atom economy and green metrics, consider safer solvent options, and gain a grounding in chemical toxicology. The goal is to cultivate critical, reflective practitioners who design safer, more sustainable syntheses.

This online program is primarily delivered asynchronously, but students are expected to meet both daily and weekly deadlines for class assignments. Your instructor will also provide optional opportunities for synchronous sessions, such as office hours, group discussions, and supplemental lectures. Attendance for synchronous sessions is voluntary and based on students’ availability.

Prerequisite: There are no prerequisites for this program.

Required Text: There are no required textbooks for this program; all readings and video resources will be made available to you throughout the program.
