| Class | Semesters | 三亿体育官网 Course(s) | Notes |
| Chemistry | four to five semesters with lab typically required, including general and organic chemistry, and, increasingly, biochemistry | CH 125 or 126 CH 221 CH 222 CH 341 with CH 342 recommended |
Must take General Chemistry Placement Diagnostic. Schools that require two semesters of general chemistry will typically count CH 341 as the second semester (CH 115 does not fulfill the requirement). A number of schools require four semesters of chemistry with lab and a semester of biochemistry. CH 125 (or 126), CH 221, CH 222, CH 341, and CH 342 often would fulfill the requirement. Many programs prefer a full-year of biochemistry if possible (i.e., CH 341 and CH 342). HPAC has a letter it can send to schools regarding the Chemistry curriculum at 三亿体育官网, including the one-semester general chemistry. It is included with the committee letter. However, certain programs need it sent separately. Check with the programs you are applying to. |
