The title above?
Will I miss anything
You’ll probably need to complete a number of undergrad courses to fill the pre-reqs for the master’s degree.
How about if I only take one chemistry course, which my major requires?
It doesn’t matter what your major requires. If you don’t have the required classes as part of your major, it’s expected to take ADDITIONAL classes after you graduate to get into the Master’s program.
Study at the graduate level in any discipline will, generally speaking, assume that you already have a solid foundation in that discipline–ie, that you’ve been exposed to most of the breadth and depth of an undergraduate-level curriculum in that area. While many graduate programs will allow you to make up some deficiencies as part of the program, it’s unlikely you’d be admitted to a program in the first place having only taken a couple (or just one) chemistry courses.
Remember that you will be competing for admission with people who have majored in chemistry and have delved into upper-level courses and performed research in the area of chemistry.
Most programs will assign you remedial classwork if you do not show proficiency in organic, physical and inorganic chemistry.
What kind of programs or colleges do that @MSChemist81
I went to University of Illinois where incoming students take placement exams. For the MS you either need to pass Inorganic, Organic, and Physical Chemistry or they make you take 400 level remedial courses for each one you failed to show proficiency in.
For PhD they let you pick Biochem, Analytical, Inorganic, Organic, or Physical and pass any 3.
I’m taking organic chemistry in my community college. Is that all I need? I will have chem 1 and 2 done
