Credit may be granted by examination.
CHEM 10100-10200 Introductory General Chemistry I-II and CHEM 12100-12200 Honors General Chemistry I-II also satisfy this requirement. Enrollment into a particular sequence is based on chemistry placement or AP score.
See Advanced Placement and Accreditation Examinations sections of this catalog. Note that no credit is given for IB chemistry.
Chemistry and Biological Chemistry majors can take these courses without the Biological Sciences prerequisites (BIOS 20153-20151), unless they pursue a double major in the Biological Sciences. They are expected to show competency in mathematical modeling of biological phenomena covered in BIOS 20151.
Students with a score of 5 on the AP biology test receive one credit. They are eligible to register for a three-quarter AP 5 Fundamental Sequence. Upon completion of the sequence, students receive an additional AP credit, for a total of two, to meet the general education requirement. Students majoring in Biological Chemistry will count the AP 5 Fundamentals Sequence as three electives.
 These courses must be chosen in consultation with the departmental counselor; their approval must be conveyed to the student's College adviser for proper documentation.
