4.4.1 PROGRAMS OF STUDY
Preparation for Graduate and Professional Schools
Courses are available to permit the student to become fully prepared
for entry into medical, dental, and pharmacy schools, as well as graduate
programs in the physical and life sciences. Students should determine as
early as possible the specific requirements for graduate or professional
schools and programs that they may wish to apply for after completing all
or part of a Chemistry or Biochemistry program. (See also 5.2.3.) Academic
advisors are available.
Languages Other Than English: Since many graduate schools have
language requirements, students who may subsequently choose to enter graduate
school are strongly advised to consider a selection of courses which includes
the prominent scientific languages, French, German and Russian.
Community College Graduates: Graduates of three year programs
in Chemical Technology, Environmental Technology, Industrial Hygiene Technology
and Medical Technology may be given substantial credit toward degree programs
in Chemistry or Biochemistry. Detailed advice on these matters can be obtained
from Chemistry and Biochemistry.
Standing Required: For admission to any Chemistry or Biochemistry
program at the second level, a student must obtain a minimum grade of C
in Chemistry 59 140 and 59 141, or the equivalent. Students in Biochemistry
