Reason for Change Update catalog description; fix credit hours at 4; remove modular format.
CHEM6400/8400 as currently being taught covers the course content previously described for CHEM6420/8420. CHEM6420/8420 will be modified in order to expose students to a wider array of chemistry topics. The change of credit hours will more accurately reflect the workload.
Content Changed? Yes; variable
