Selecting the appropriate Chemistry classes to meet your Biology Major requirements

Chemistry courses require prerequisites to be completed with a C or better

Although the Biology Department accepts the completion of prerequisite courses with a grade of C- or better, the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry requires completion of prerequisites with a grade of C or better.

Recommended Sequence of Chemistry courses

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry has provided a RECOMMENDED SEQUENCE for taking Chemistry/Biochemistry courses for Biology Majors:

Organic Chemistry: Chem 130 or Chem 333?

All Biology majors are required to take at least one semester of organic chemistry. Students who are pre-health professional or who are planning on attending graduate school may choose to take the upper division organic chemistry Chem 333, instead of Chem 130. Directions for obtaining approval are discussed on this web page:
