The course prerequisite is pre-calculus-high school Algebra and Trigonometry.
**Courses within any given major or minor require a grade of a C- or better to fulfill its requirement
Notes:

All biology majors going on to graduate school or medical school should take Organic Chemistry (CHE 1213R, 1214R, 1215L), and Physics 1031-1032 R&L.
Independent study and summer research in biology do NOT satisfy any biology requirements.
Students planning to pursue advance study in the health sciences must be in contact with the YU pre-health advisor, Dr. James Camara.
The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Yeshiva College offers a rigorous program of study that emphasizes traditional chemistry and biochemistry curricula as well as encourages undergraduate students to engage in research with our faculty members during the academic year and summer.
Students interested in a career in chemical engineering may consider the combined engineering program with Columbia University School of Engineering and Applied Science 

Chemistry, a central science, serves as the basis for understanding the natural and physical sciences.
A college graduate with a major in chemistry or biochemistry is prepared for a wide choice of science-related careers.
The chemical and pharmaceutical industries provide opportunities for applied chemical and biochemical research
Medicine and the health science fields emphasize the biological aspect of advances in chemistry and biochemistry
Public service-minded individuals with a solid science education can find their niche in environmental protection agencies, consumer advocacy groups and various government offices.
In the field of education, there is a nationwide shortage of science teachers on both the elementary and high school levels.
Program Information
Mission and Goals

Mission Statement
The mission of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry is to provide our students with a solid foundation in the chemical and biochemical sciences and the skills required for scientific analysis and critical thinking.
Upon completing the chemistry or biochemistry major the students will be prepared to attend graduate schools (Ph.D. programs) or professional schools (medical, dental, optometry and others).
They will be also ready to study and work at various engineering and academic institutions.
The undergraduate Chemistry program aims to prepare students for entry into graduate and professional programs and to become active and engaged members of the chemical scientific community by providing students with traditional chemical education integrated with modern research.
Student Learning Goals
Understand chemical principles in order to explain the phenomena of the natural world.
Apply experimental techniques and chemical principles to investigate and solve problems.
Effectively communicate technical and scientific information both verbally and in writing.
Generate research ideas and design theoretical and experimental methods to test these ideas with faculty guidance.

Yeshiva College Department of Computer Science Academic Integrity Policy

Resources & Collaboration

The allowed resources for Computer Science assignments will vary from course to course, and even from assignment to assignment, including:

what sources of information, printed or online, may be accessed and used,
the level of collaboration and discussion which is permitted among students,
whether someone else's previous work may be incorporated, as-is or with changes
The rules may be communicated to the students in several forms, including:

assignment instructions
lecture slides
course syllabi
class emails
online class forums (e.g., Canvas, Piazza, GitHub)
Students are responsible to know and follow both the general rules for each course as well as the specific provisions for each assignment.
If there is ambiguity about a particular resource, they should assume that its use is not permitted, pending any further clarification by the professor.
Citing Sources

When submitting work for any assignment for which use or adaptation of code (or other work) written by others has been allowed by the professor, the student is required to follow the citation practices outlined by the professor in the specific course or assignment.
If the professor does not outline a specific citation practice, students must do the following:

Insert the URL of the code and the date of retrieval.
Add more details if it will help the reader get a clearer understanding of the source.
If you adapted the code, you should indicate Adapted from: or Based on so it is understood that you modified the code.
If you are not clear on what is required and acceptable, ask your instructor.

IBC and JSS courses transfer to YC for the BS in the same exact way they transfer for a BA
Through writing we develop as thinkers ”critical, analytic, and synthetic ”as we actively absorb, engage, question, and participate in the world.
Crafting and making our own choices about language, we become increasingly alert to how words both succeed and fail in work, politics, relationships and society.
We learn that words are prismatic, reflect multiple meanings and experiences, not only our own but also those of others radically unlike us.
And we discover ourselves by trying to put introspection as well as reflection into words.
As students of words, we learn about a vast range of human possibilities, and we valorize a vast range of human experiences.
In doing so we align, compare, and contrast ourselves with countless others who have inscribed human life in language through the centuries.
The Writing Minor at Yeshiva College recognizes that proficiency in writing will prove advantageous for any major, for any career, and for the career change most educated people make from time to time.
The minor will help any student express himself in the present and prepare for any future, whether in graduate or professional school, as a professional writer, or during almost any other type of work.
Learning Goals
The goals of the Creative Writing Minor are to enable each student who successfully completes it to:

Develop into an effective, confident creative and/or expository writer, reviser, and editor;
Develop a substantial repertoire of strategies for invention, writing, and revision;
Apply interpretive skills to writing so that "reading" and "writing" will reinforce one another 
Develop one or more voices and a sense of authorship;
Write for various audiences in various genres (e.g., fiction, poetry, playwriting, screenwriting, creative nonfiction);
Practice and appreciate writing as art, craft, rhetoric, and as application of ideas about writing; and
Enhance his enjoyment of writing.
