Planning Your Chemistry Course Sequence

Build a balanced foundation in chemistry

Students who take the Chemistry Course as their main course should balance subjects from both the common science-track subjects and the Chemistry Course specialist subjects, taking the relevant academic fields into account. In the lower years, study the main areas of chemistry, including Organic Chemistry I, Inorganic Chemistry I, and Physical Chemistry I. It is also advantageous to complete foundational subjects such as Quantum Mechanics I and Chemical Kinetics before taking advanced chemistry subjects based on those areas. Enrollment in Chemistry Experiment A requires credits in chemistry experiments.
