Chemistry Allied Field
Chemistry is the study of the molecular structure, properties, and reactions of matter. Within the Neuroscience major, the Chemistry Allied Field focuses on organic chemistry, chemistry of life processes, and the uses of chemistry in biological experimentation, diagnostics, and therapeutics.
Electives in the Chemistry Allied Field (choose 4 units from the list below, 2 courses which must be 300-level or above).
Courses in the first group are listed separately because they are prerequisites for some of the additional electives in Chemistry.
- CHEM 215-1 Organic Chemistry
- CHEM 215-2 Organic Chemistry
- CHEM 215-3 Organic Chemistry
- CHEM 235-1 Organic Chemistry Laboratory I (0.34 units)
- CHEM 235-2 Organic Chemistry Laboratory II (0.34 units)
- CHEM 235-3 Advanced Organic Chemistry Laboratory (0.34 units)
The six courses above have substantial overlap with the 217 and 237 series below. Consult with the Chemistry director of undergraduate studies for exact equivalencies.
