Science Majors

First, enroll in CHEM 300: Beginning Chemistry¹ (4 units).

Next, enroll in the following courses as you meet the prerequisites:

1. CHEM 400: General Chemistry I (5 units)
2. CHEM 401: General Chemistry II (5 units)
3. CHEM 410: Quantitative Analysis (5 units)
4. CHEM 420: Organic Chemistry I² (5 units)
5. CHEM 421: Organic Chemistry I² (5 units)
6. BIOL 402: Cell and Molecular Biology (5 units)
7. BIOL 430: Anatomy and Physiology (5 units)
8. BIOL 440 General Microbiology (5 units)

• ¹ Students who have passed the Chemistry Diagnostic Exam and will enroll in CHEM 400 within 12 months of passing the exam do not need to take CHEM 300.
• ² Required for Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Pre-Medicine, Pharmacy, Dentistry, and Pre-Veterinarian majors.

Allied Health Majors

First, enroll in CHEM 305: Introduction to Chemistry (5 units).

Next, optionally enroll in one or both of the following:

• CHEM 306: Introduction to Organic and Biological Chemistry³ (5 units)
• CHEM 309: Integrated General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry³ (5 units)

Next, enroll in one of the following:

• BIOL 430: Anatomy and Physiology⁴ (5 units)
• BIOL 440 General Microbiology^{4 / 5} (5 units)

• ³ If a student wants to take CHEM 306 but it has been more than two years since they have taken CHEM 305, then they should take CHEM 309.
• ⁴ CHEM 305 is the minimum prerequisite required to enroll in this class.
• ⁵ CHEM 306 and CHEM 309 are strongly recommended before taking BIOL 440.
