Back to Course Book Table of Contents A chemistry curriculum should include study in biology, physics and mathematics. This curriculum prepares students for graduate work in chemistry or biochemistry, for medical or veterinary school, or supports Plan work in physics or biology. Advanced work is available in organic and biochemistry. Courses in physical and inorganic chemistry are offered as well.
Analytical chemistry is woven into the courses in the other four areas.
Each student must develop a familiarity with the cutting edge of research in at least one area. The area could be in organic chemistry, biochemistry or molecular biology, or it could include biology or physics. Interdisciplinary Plans could be in immunology, chemical ecology, or biophysics, to name a few. Students are encouraged to do experimental work as part of the Plan. The minimum requirement in mathematics is an understanding of calculus and differential equations.
