This four-credit course is part of a two-semester
sequence (Chem 163-164) designed for students who have a strong
interest in chemistry and/or for those considering majoring in a
science or engineering discipline requiring a solid background in
chemistry.
One year of high school level chemistry is
required. Calculus I is a pre- or corequisite. Introduction
to Experimentation (01:160:171) is a required one-credit laboratory
course run separately. It may be taken with either
Chem 163 or Chem 164. Calculus II should be taken prior to or along
with Chem 164. We have found that a high Math SAT score (>
680) is an indicator of success in the course. Please

Best wishes for an enjoyable and
rewarding semester!
