Chemistry: First-Year
Courses
The Physical Sciences
Department at Takoma Park/Silver Spring
offers the following courses for students
who are preparing to take college
chemistry courses at the first-year
level.
Courses Offered:
CH 101 Principles of Chemistry I
The first semester of a first-year college chemistry course. CH 101 is
usually taken by biology and chemistry
majors and students wanting to enter
many health-related programs, such as
nursing, medical, pharmacy, physical
therapy, veterinary, and optometry. This
is also taken by some engineering
majors. (Refer to your program's
specific transfer requirements for more
information.)
CH 102 Principles of Chemistry II
The second semester of a first-year college chemistry course. CH 102
is usually taken by biology and
chemistry majors and students wanting to
enter many of the health programs, such
medical, pharmacy, physical therapy,
veterinary, and optometry
schools. (Refer to your program's
specific transfer requirements for more
information.)
CH 103 Chemistry for the Health Sciences
An organic chemistry/biochemistry course designed for students
interested in entering a nursing
bachelor's program at a four year
institution, which requires 4 credits of
college chemistry (Prerequisite is CH
100A, Introductory Chemistry.) Check to
see if CH 103 satisfies the requirements
of the 4-year institution. CH 103 along
with CH 101 will satisfy the 8 credit
chemistry requirement for some nursing
programs.
CH 120 Essentials of Organic and Biochemistry
An introduction to organic chemistry/biochemistry topics for students
who want to enter a nursing bachelor's
program at a four year
institution. Nursing students should
check to see if CH 120 along with its
pre-requisite CH 101 satisfies the
requirements of the 4-year
