New Chemistry Sequence

The Chemistry Department at the University of Maryland is initiating a
new chemistry sequence that will better integrate the study of chemistry
with the study of biology. The new sequence will be initiated Fall 2005;

• General Chemistry I and lab: CHEM131 & CHEM132 Pre-requisite placement in MATH113 or MATH115
  
  
• Organic Chemistry I and lab: CHEM231 & CHEM232 Pre-requisite C or better in CHEM131 & CHEM132
  
  
• Organic Chemistry II and lab: CHEM241 & CHEM242 Pre-requisite C or better in CHEM231 & CHEM232
  
  
• General & Analytical Chemistry & lab: CHEM271 & CHEM272 Pre-requisite C or better in CHEM241 & CHEM242-First offered Spring 2007

CHEM113 will be offered for the last time in Spring 2006. After that semester
students who have already completed CHEM103 but not CHEM113 will be
placed directly into Organic I, and will take General & Analytical Chem
after Organic II. This sequence of four chemistry courses plus lab will
satisfy the chemistry requirement for medial school, graduate school,
and other professional schools.
