To enter one of the programs, students should have completed a minimum of two years of high school algebra, one-half year of trigonometry, one year each of physics and chemistry, and three or four years of a modern foreign language. Enrollments in some courses may be limited to students with a grade of C- or higher in the prerequisite chemistry courses. Introductory CoursesC100 is a lecture course for nonscience majors. Students who are required to complete only two semesters of chemistry, such as those in prenursing and some allied health areas, should take C101-C121 and C102-C122, which include labs. Students who wish to take basic courses that provide a foundation for advanced work in scientific fields should enroll in C117 (or C105-C125) and C118 (or C106-C126), or S117 (or S105-S125) and S118 (or S106-S126). Special Sections and CoursesSpecial courses for students with unusually good aptitude or preparation and especially for students interested in the professional B.S. in chemistry and B.S. in biochemistry degree programs are identified by the prefix letter "S": S105, S106, S117, S118, S125, S126, S341, S342, S343, and S344. These courses are equivalent to the corresponding courses lettered "C" for meeting stated requirements.

Departmental Honors ProgramThe program is designed for especially well-qualified students who wish to acquire an unusually strong foundation in chemistry. Most students completing the honors program enter graduate or professional school. Special courses for outstanding students are offered in general chemistry, S117 (or S105-S125); andorganic chemistry, S341, S342, and S343; andinorganic chemistry S330. Participants are expected to complete the requirements for a B.S.in chemistry or a B.S. in biochemistry or the following courses: C315, C317, C318, C361, C362, C364, and two 3 credit hour, 400-level courses other than C409 and C445.
