This course is designed to be the equivalent of the general chemistry course usually taken during the first college year. For some students, this course enables them to undertake, as freshmen, second-year work in the chemistry sequence at their institution or to register for courses in other fields where general chemistry is a prerequisite. For other students, the AP Chemistry course fulfills the laboratory science requirement and frees time for other courses.

This is the first semester of a two-semester sequence designed for students with minimal backgrounds in chemistry yet need a solid foundation in chemistry for their major. These students do not typically take other chemistry courses beyond this sequence. The two semesters are a comprehensive overview of General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Biochemistry. The first semester focuses on General Chemistry with an introduction to Organic Chemistry. Three hours of lecture and three hours of lab per week. Meets foundational core physical science requirement. No college level prerequisites, but high school algebra and chemistry are strongly recommended. Offered fall semester.
