Biochemistry

---

Chemistry courses must be taken in order. Students need to be aware of the sequential and interrelated nature of the courses in chemistry, mathematics and physics.

 

Required Courses in the Freshman Year

First Semester	Second Semester
CHM205 College Chemistry I MTH122 Pre-Calculus ENG112 Composition General Ed.	CHM206 College Chemistry II MTH201 Calculus I General Ed. Breadth Elective General Ed. Breadth Elective

NOTE: Minimum grades of “C” in CHM 205 and CHM206 are required before students are allowed to take further chemistry courses in the major.

Required Courses in the Sophomore Year

First Semester	Second Semester
CHM305 Organic Chemistry I MTH202 Calculus II BIO201 General Biology I General Ed. Breadth Elective	CHM306 Organic Chemistry II BIO202 General Biology II General Ed. Breadth Elective General Ed. Breadth Elective

 

Prerequisite Courses

CHM 467, MTH 202, and PHS 235 or 240 are prerequisites for CHM 404 (taken in either the junior or senior year). CHM 306 is prerequisite for CHM 467 (taken in either the junior or senior year).

 

Further Recommendations

Depending on a student’s goals and interests, the major can be tailored to accommodate courses that are most appropriate. This should be done through discussion with the student’s advisor.
