What chemistry course should I take?
| Course name and #: [ranked in order of increasing sophistication/difficulty] |
course description and prerequisites: | the course is for this type of student: | the course transfers as:
[always confirm with transfer school] |

Introductory Chemistry 5 units
this can be a prep class for Chem B1A |
for those with little or no chemistry background, Math A or basic algebra skills required | science majors who never had chemistry, allied
health/nursing, counts as a general science course + lab
(Chem 11 or 16 also suggested for nursing) |
general science with lab, survey of general chemistry |
|
