*MTH 122 has a pre-req of MTH111, College Algebra, but it is very rare that an entering CHM major would first need to complete MTH 111, and moving MTH122 to a spring semester would be less ideal for the typical incoming CHM major to be able to complete upper division elective courses in the senior year we offer as part of the American Chemical Society certified chemistry degree.
