Chemistry Department Course Updates

As we prepare for the new academic year, Barnard's Chemistry Department has made two important announcements about course offerings for prehealth students:

Planning to take General Chemistry I this year? 
Consider enrolling in CHEM BC1004, Special Topics in Chemistry. This 0.5 credit, P/F course is open to students enrolled in General Chemistry I who wish to explore applications of chemistry to a wide range of topics. Students can choose from five different topics, meeting on different weekdays:
  • Monday: Chemistry and Racism
  • Tuesday: The Chemistry of Color
  • Wednesday: The Chemistry of COVID-19
  • Thursday: An Introduction to Chemical Engineering
  • Friday: The Chemistry of Lead
Looking for a second semester of general/inorganic chemistry this year?
Barnard's Chemistry Department will offer CHEM BC3232, Chemistry IV, during Spring 2021 and Summer Session A. This course is recommended as the second semester of general/inorganic chemistry for all prehealth students who are not majoring in chemistry or biochemistry. We've updated the Prehealth Coursework Guide under Prehealth Advising Resources in Handshake to reflect this curricular change!
