<p>Hey new to the forum! Im transferring to Rutgers soon and im gonna be continuing my psychology degree but i want to take premed courses. I know the med school requirements are 1 year of General Biology/1 year of General Chemistry/1 year of Physics/1 year of Organic Chemistry. </p>

<ul>
<li><p>What are the Prerequisites to General Chemistry 1? </p></li>
<li><p>Can I take Gen Chem 1 one semester and then Organic Chem 1 the following semester or do i need to complete BOTH Gen Chem 1 AND 2 in order to take Organic Chem 1??</p></li>
<li><p>Will my General Biology 1 class I took in Comm college be counted? If so can I take General Biology 2 and be finished or when they say 1 year of GENERAL Biology do they just mean two nondescript/specific biology courses?</p></li>
</ul>

<p>If someone can give a list of prerequisites for these classes at Rutgers that would be awesome!!! I really need help im in a reallyyyy complicated situation and need to plan my classes a few semesters ahead!! Thanks!</p>

<p>The prereq for Gen Chem 1 is Precalc.</p>

<p>You have to complete both semesters of Gen Chem before starting with Orgo 1.</p>

<p>To check if your community college credit will transfer, check out <a href=“http://www.njtransfer.org”>www.njtransfer.org</a> . You put in your community college and the program you will be in at Rutgers and it gives you the course equivalency and if it transfers.</p>

<p>All of the biology courses have Gen Bio 1 and 2 as prereqs anyway, so you’re better off just taking Gen Bio 2 and you complete your year of biology requirements for med school.</p>

<p>In the future, you can check prerequisites and course schedule by using the Rutgers Online Schedule of Classes.
