Further information will be supplied on request. Courses 100 and 110 emphasize organic and biochemistry, and may be used as prerequisite only for 431. It is possible to move from one sequence to another if permission for substitution is obtained in advance. For example, a student who finds a need to complete the 120-130 series after having completed 100 may substitute 100 for 120 with approval of the Department of Chemistry and may then take 130. Chemistry 128-138 is an honors course designed for the student who has already made considerable progress in science.
Class size is limited to promote faculty-student interaction.
Selection is based on ACT scores, high school chemistry grade, and, if necessary, performance on a placement examination to be given during the first class meeting. A student receiving a passing grade below B in 128 will complete the year's work by taking 130 or 131. The Department of Chemistry gives credit in general chemistry to students who present satisfactory scores on the Chemistry Advanced Placement Examination.
