2. Scientists majoring in areas other than chemistry can prepare themselves better for work in their discipline by having a grounding in chemistry, which will enable them to understand molecular phenomena. The Chemistry Department offers two year-long tracks of Introductory Chemistry, CHEM141/142, or 143/144. The CHEM143/144 sequence, requiring some prior chemistry and calculus, provides a more sophisticated introduction and represents a better preparation for science majors. The CHEM141/142 sequence requires no previous exposure to chemistry or calculus, and emphasizes environmental and biological applications. CHEM152, Introductory Chemistry Laboratory, is taken concurrently with CHEM142 or 144, in the spring semester. Principles of Organic Chemistry I/II (251/252), normally follows Introductory Chemistry. The laboratory courses, CHEM257, the General Chemistry Laboratory; and CHEM258, the Organic Chemistry Laboratory, are usually taken concurrently with CHEM251/252. The two courses, Introductory Chemistry and Organic Chemistry, plus the laboratory sequence, CHEM152, 257, 258, are required for admission to medical, dental, and veterinary schools.
