About this course

Understanding Chemistry I for your Nexford 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 (Chemistry 111) is a 3-credit course with video-based instruction, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam weighted at 20% for quizzes, 30% for assignments, and 50% for the final. As you complete the course, the transcript credit can be sent for Nexford University review, where it is recognized as a Natural and Physical Science Elective that satisfies a general-education requirement.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course builds practical skills in interpreting data, using units correctly, and understanding how matter and reactions work, which can be useful in settings that value clear problem-solving. At Nexford, that credit fits into degree planning as a Natural and Physical Science Elective within programs such as the Associate of Applied Science or the Bachelor of Business Administration, helping move you toward graduation without taking an extra gen-ed course.

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 Nexford

After you finish Chemistry I, the transcript is sent for transfer review and Nexford applies it as a Natural and Physical Science Elective if it matches their evaluation. That designation means the course counts toward a general-education requirement in the Nexford degree plan rather than sitting as an unassigned elective. Nexford is an active transfer partner of UPI Study, and its policy allows up to 90 credits, or 75% of an undergraduate program, to transfer. Nexford also offers a free, no-obligation transfer credit evaluation, and its DEAC-accredited programs include options such as the Associate of Applied Science and Bachelor of Business Administration.

Who this course is for

This course is a reasonable choice if you are working toward a Nexford degree and want a general-education science credit that is already identified as a Natural and Physical Science Elective. It can also help if you are trying to use transfer credit efficiently, since Nexford allows up to 90 credits, or 75% of an undergraduate program, to transfer. It is not the best fit if you need a course outside that gen-ed area or if your plan already has the full transfer allowance used.
