Approved Elective
See table . ** Organic Chemistry II + lab= 6 credits count as one course Lab Note: 01:694:214 and 01:694:215 are only offered to first-year students with AP Biology credit and AP General Chemistry credits (or taking General Chemistry concurrently). 01:447:203 is only offered to first & second-year students in the SAS Honors Program or the Honors College. Students cannot receive credit for both 01:447:203 and 01:447:302. Organic Chemistry Note: If you are planning to pursue a graduate degree in which a full year of organic chemistry is suggested/required (e.g., med/dental school), we strongly recommend taking Organic Chemistry II + lab as an elective (6 credits)
