Chem 1 & 2

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Michigan

<p>I am sorta confused here...For premed requirements, I am not sure which courses are the ones I need to take. Specifically, I am confused at the chem course numberings. I know I need 2 semesters of general chem and 2 semester of organic chem. Normally, colleges that I have seen just label the courses General Chemistry 1 and 2 and Organic Chemistry 1 and 2. </p>

<p>However, Michigan does some weird thing, and the LSA course guide descriptions are horrible. There is 130, with 125 and 126 (2 lab courses for one course???), which is described as Gen Chem 1. Then there is 210, which they describe as "CHEM 210 is the first course in a two-term sequence in which the major concepts of chemistry are introduced in the context of organic chemistry," which makes it sound as Organic Chem 1. Then there 211, that is the lab for organic, then 216 sounds like organic also. </p>

<p>BASICALLY, can someone just tell me what is Gen Chem 1/2 and Organic Chem 1/2 (with their respective labs). Thanks!</p>

<p>g chem 1: chem 130, 125/126
o chem 1: chem 210, 211
o chem 2: chem 215, 216
g chem 2: chem 230 for alg based, 260 for calc based. i’m not sure about the lab i think its 240/241</p>

<p>the course listing for chem 230 calls it physical chemistry. it is the second term of inorganic chemsitry for pre med. i dont know why umich does it in this order, maybe to weed out some people in 210/215 before they take 230 or 260</p>
