• Choosing the Right Organic Chemistry Course: CAS CH 203/204 or CAS CH 203/214.

  CAS CH 203/204 is a two-semester sequence of organic chemistry. The sequence of courses usually satisfies the requirements of students who are interested in pre-medicine/dentistry, other medical/health sciences, or biological sciences.

  CAS CH 203/214 is a two-semester sequence of organic chemistry. The sequence of courses is designed for students who need a more intense laboratory experience than is provided by the CAS CH 203/204 sequence. The CAS CH 203/214 sequence is acceptable toward chemistry and BMB (Biochemistry and Molecular Biology) concentration credit, and the chemistry minor.
