Are there prerequisites for organic chemistry

The honors organic sequence is recommended for strong students who want to be further challenged by their chemistry courses. Laboratory courses are designed to accompany CHEM and Prerequisites for CHEM include a 3. Please contact the Chemistry Undergraduate Advisors for registration information. Many students inquire about taking a condensed organic chemistry sequence that can be completed during summer quarter.

There is great demand for this course sequence so students are advised to register early. We also refer students who are interested in taking the full year-long lecture and laboratory course equivalent of CHEM , , , , to Bellevue Community College, which offers a summer intensive program covering these courses.

Skip to main content. CHEM , Organic Chemistry Short Program A two-quarter, lecture-only series in organic chemistry, covering many of the topics from the full year, three-quarter sequence in a less comprehensive way see below for labs. CHEM , , Organic Chemistry Lecture The standard three-quarter sequence of organic chemistry lecture sequence see below for accompanying labs. Credit is not granted for both the CH and CH sequences.

CH Environmental Chemistry. A 3-cr course which serves as an elementary survey of the basic chemistry involved in sources, reactions, transport, effect, and fate of chemical species in the air, water, soil, and living environments.

Also available as an Ecampus class check schedule of classes. A prerequisite of 1 year of general college chemistry. Counts as an upper division analytical chemistry course. CH Radioactive Tracer Methods. A 4-cr lab course with a prerequisite of 2 years of college chemistry.

Normally taught Fall term but not every year. Counts as an upper division lab course nuclear. CH Bioanalytical chemistry. A 3-cr course about analytical methods employed in the study of biologically important molecules. A prerequisite of one year of organic chemistry and one term of organic chemistry laboratory. Not taught every year not Limited enrollment.

Although some laboratory experience is involved, this course does not count as a lab course. This course is taught intermittently and has not been taught for several years. A 3-cr lecture course with a prerequisite of one year of organic chemistry. Counts as an upper division organic chemistry course. CH Physical chemistry. First term of the physical chemistry sequence with an emphasis on thermodynamics. Transfer courses related to chemistry requirements should be at least a C.

Generally, online chemistry classes will not be counted. A minimum of 12 upper-division semester hours of chemistry courses must be taken in residence at the University of Utah. Finally, all chemistry majors must pass four of the five departmental comprehensive exams in analytical, biological, inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry, which are normally given a couple times each semester.

These will normally be announced via e-mail to the chemistry majors list. Students may begin taking these exams following one full semester after completion of the level organic chemistry classes. Be advised, that this is NOT the official catalog. Pre-requisites are set to ensure student success. If you would like to make a plan it is best to meet with an advisor or refer to the University of Utah's Catalog. Below is a listing of the undergraduate courses with course descriptions; when a previous syllabus is available a link has been provided.

An introduction to the concepts of chemistry and the importance of these concepts in understanding environmental and health issues.

This knowledge will be used to study the mode of action of important classes of drugs such as birth control drugs, antibiotics and some illegal drugs. The course will finally focus on critical evaluation of scientific claims in the popular media e. Related to this, students will learn to make a rational evaluation of the safety and efficacy of prescription drugs, herbal remedies, and dietary supplements.

Case studies e. John's Wort will illustrate the important issues. Ultimately students will become better informed consumers of scientific and psuedo-scientific information. Six-week program involves eight hours of lecture and discussion, 15 hrs. Enrollment limited and by invitation only. One hour of lecture and three hours of laboratory experience every two weeks during fall semester.

Students must be recommended by high school AP teacher. Continuation of CHEM One hour of lecture and three hours of laboratory experience every two weeks during spring semester. Three lectures, one discussion section and 3 hour lab per week. The first of a two semester sequence CHEM and intended as a broad introduction to chemistry primarily for students in nursing and allied health fields. CHEM consists of an introducion to general chemistry with an emphasis on the language of chemistry and quantitative problem-solving.

The semester concludes with topics in introductory organic chemistry. CHEM completes the discussion of elementary organic chemistry and introduces the student to biochemistry.

Preparatory course for students who intend to take CHEM but feel their background or high school preparation is inadequate. Introduction to basic chemistry concepts with emphasis on problem solving. Co-requisite: CHEM Three lectures, two discussions per week.
