elecBve
courses
CHEMISTRY
COURSES
ü Many
of
the
elecBve
classes
fill
up
quickly,
so
it’s
becer
to
spread
them
out
rather
than
planning
on
taking
all/ most
during
your
last
semester
because
you
might
not
CHEM220A
CHEM220B
CHEM111A*
CHEM111B*
CHEM441A
CHEM441B
get
into
all
of
them
and
then
you’d
have
to
delay
your
CHEM223A*
CHEM223B*
graduaBon.

Chemistry)
(Organic

for

combinaBon
of

MATH
COURSES
370,
or
342/345.
ü 3

if

(must
meet

ü If
