Courses for Majors in Other Science Departments:
Scientists majoring in areas other than chemistry can prepare themselves better for work in their discipline by having a grounding in chemistry, which will enable them to understand molecular phenomena.
The Chemistry Department offers two yearlong tracks of General Chemistry / or /. The / sequence, requiring some prior chemistry and calculus, provides a more sophisticated introduction and represents a better preparation for science majors. The / sequence requires no previous exposure to chemistry or calculus, and emphasizes environmental and biological applications.
Introductory Chemistry Laboratory, is taken concurrently with in the fall semester or with or , in the spring semester.
Principles of Organic Chemistry I/II /, normally follows Introductory Chemistry.
The laboratory courses, the Intermediate Chemistry Laboratory; and , the Organic Chemistry Laboratory, are usually taken concurrently with /, respectively. The two courses, Introductory Chemistry and Organic Chemistry, plus the laboratory sequence, , and , are required for admission to medical, dental, and veterinary schools.
