About this course

Understanding Chemistry I for your CrestPoint credit.

What is Chemistry I?

Chemistry I is an introduction to the substances that make up matter and the changes they undergo. It covers the structure of atoms, how elements combine to form molecules and compounds, how chemical reactions are balanced and measured, and how energy, bonding, gases, and physical properties fit into that picture.

How the course teaches you

Chemistry I is delivered in a self-paced online format with video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. The grade is based on 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% final exam, so students can see exactly how progress is measured before the course is complete. When the course is finished and the transcript is issued, CrestPoint recognizes it as SCI-105 – Introduction to Chemistry.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The skills in this course help students read data, follow procedures, and solve problems that depend on careful measurement and clear reasoning. At CrestPoint, that can support degree progress in programs such as the Associate of Paralegal Studies or the Bachelor of Business Administration, where students still need transferable credit that fits a plan. Because CrestPoint uses a named course equivalency for SCI-105 – Introduction to Chemistry, the credit has a defined place in the transfer record rather than sitting as an undefined elective.

Skills you walk away with

Use dimensional analysis and unit conversionsBalance chemical equations and solve stoichiometry problemsPredict trends in ionization energy, electronegativity, and atomic radiusDetermine reaction yield and compound compositionApply laboratory techniques and use lab equipment properlyExplain chemical bonding, molecular geometry, and intermolecular forcesInterpret gas behavior with the ideal gas law

Taking this course toward CrestPoint

After you complete Chemistry I, the transcript is sent so CrestPoint can review it for transfer. Under the signed articulation agreement with UPI Study, CrestPoint applies the named equivalency SCI-105 – Introduction to Chemistry, which is the strongest form of transfer recognition because it maps to a specific catalog course. That matters when you are building a degree plan at CrestPoint, since the credit is identified clearly for programs such as Associate of Paralegal Studies and Bachelor of Business Administration. Keep in mind that CrestPoint allows up to 72 transfer credits, or 60% of the degree.

Who this course is for

This course is a practical choice for students who want to bring in a specific science credit to CrestPoint without waiting for a fixed campus schedule. It may fit degree-finishers, working adults, and students watching transfer value closely, especially since CrestPoint accepts transfer credit under its 72-credit limit and gives named recognition to SCI-105 – Introduction to Chemistry. It is not the right fit for someone who needs a different science requirement than Introduction to Chemistry or who is already at risk of going over CrestPoint’s transfer ceiling.
