BCTC offers both community college courses (CHM prefix) as well as University of Kentucky chemistry courses (CHE) which do transfer to UK. Several sections of CHE 104, CHE 105, CHE 107 and CHE 115 are offered during both the fall and spring semesters. One section of CHE 106 is offered only during the spring semester. The lab courses CHM 104, CHM 105 and CHM 107 are offered in both semesters. Sections of CHE 230 Organic Chemistry I and CHE 232 Organic Chemistry II are generally offered in both semesters. CHM 101 was offered for the last time in the spring of 1998. CHE 231 was offered for the first and only time in the fall of 2000. It is unknown when the organic chemistry labs will be taught through BCTC again. The BCTC summer schedule typically includes only CHE 104, CHE 105 and CHM 104 in both six week sessions.
