Chemistry Advising Flow Chart<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Most likely you will need a science lab course for distribution credits. You should choose a chemistry course based on your interests and level of preparation. Most students would take CHEM 100 (5 cr., no lab) or CHEM& 110 (6 cr., lab)<\/strong> – these courses assume no previous knowledge of chemistry and do not have math prerequisites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, for students who are undecided and interested in a science\/health major, consider these choices: It is recommended that you take math (and English) before taking chemistry. Most programs will require CHEM& 121<\/strong> (specifically designed for health majors) but some programs (B.S.N.) may require CHEM& 161, a course designed for science and engineering majors. Check with your intended program \u2013 the expectations for these two courses are very different. ***Pre-professional health students (pre-meds, pre-dental, pre-pharmacy, pre-vet) should take CHEM& 140 and\/or CHEM& 161 (see below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Most likely you will start off with CHEM& 161<\/strong> if you\u2019ve had chemistry in high school (or a previous chem course in college) and sufficient math (placement into Math 141).<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you haven\u2019t had any previous chemistry courses in high school or college, you should start with CHEM& 121 or Chem& 140<\/strong>, which is a prep course for specifically for CHEM& 161.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2018ve had previous college chemistry courses (equivalent to our CHEM& 121\/CHEM& 140) and you\u2019ve had math courses (precalculus), then submit these transcripts to the online prerequisite check to get cleared: www.bellevuecollege.edu\/services\/prereq-check-form <\/a>(allow 5-7 days for the request)<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019ve had chemistry before but no college credit, it is required that you take a chemistry placement exam to ensure you are at an adequate level of preparation for this course. As of 2020, we have suspended the chem placement exam but you may take a practice exam on your own to assess your readiness for CHEM& 161: <\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/chemistry\/chem161placement\/ <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It is recommended that all students go through the Advising department.
