Special Notes on Core Curriculum Requirements
- The core curriculum natural science requirements for chemistry majors are fulfilled by Ch131-132 General Chemistry, I and II, and Pc185 General Physics, I. Chemistry majors may not take Ns110 Scientific Literacy.
- The core curriculum mathematics requirement for chemistry majors is met by Ma143-144 Differential and Integral Calculus. Students not sufficiently prepared to take Ma143 must take Ma021 College Algebra, a three-credit course which may be applied to the electives. These courses may not be taken on a Pass/Fail basis.
- Chemistry majors are strongly recommended to take German as their modern language.
Special Note on Electives
Students planning to enter medical or dental school should take Bi183-184 General Biology, I and II (8 crs) in their junior year. These credits will be applied to the electives.
