Vision:
College of Arts Sciences envisions building a socially
responsible community of analytical thinkers and
value-driven professionals encompassing the arts,
social sciences, and humanities to rise above the
present society’s challenges in the service of the
Filipinos.
Mission:
College of Arts and Sciences of the City of Malabon
University aims to serve as the center of education in
imparting interdisciplinary knowledge and character
formation to improve the quality of life of every
Filipino.
College Goals:
The course's objective is to equip learners, who
would be potential policymakers in the public,
corporate, or not-for-profit sectors, with the skills
necessary to make sound judgments while coping
with public administration. The course examines
how public administration design and organization,
efficiency, and motivation link to community and
growth in a wide range of political governments,
administrative ideologies, and social values.

This course in Chemistry offers a brief review on basic general chemistry topics such as chemical bonding, bond
polarity and acids and bases that will serve as students’ spring board to concentrate on nomenclature,
properties, stereochemistry, preparation, and reaction mechanisms of organic molecules such as alkanes,
alkenes, alkynes, alkyl halides, aromatic hydrocarbons and other functional groups. In addition, this is designed
to develop laboratory skills and techniques in handling organic compounds from purification to classical analysis
to address the need for the 21st century science process skills among students. This subject will serve as a tool
to grasp the major concepts and develop flexibility in applying those concepts in many extensions and
applications of organic chemistry.

At the end of the semester, the students will be able to:
•
•
•
•
•
Describe molecules based on bonding, orbitals, geometry, polarity, and properties
Apply proper nomenclature procedure in naming different organic compounds
Describe organic compounds based on their respective structure, properties, functions and reactions
Explain and integrate reaction mechanisms of organic compounds to biological systems
Perform experiments in preparing, isolating, purifying and characterizing different organic
compounds.
