Curriculum Fit

This course will be required of all students who major in nursing and selected other health related fields (e.g., respiratory therapy)

Similarity to Other

Courses

For nursing students this course will replace the two-semester sequence CHEM 1210-1220 and lab course 1260.  This new course is being proposed at the request of the Medical College of Ohio.  There will be a reduction from 7 semester hours of chemistry to 4 semester hours.  However, the entrance requirements for the new course are higher than those for 1210.  This change will mean that more students will need to complete CHEM 1090 before enrolling in CHEM 1120 than in CHEM 1210.
