Interested in Credit by Exam?

The department offers credit for the lecture courses CHEM 1061 and/or CHEM 1062 through a special examination.  Please note that this is only useful to meet the prerequisites to a subsequent course as credit will not be given for lab.  If a student's program requires a lab experience, they are required to take the lecture and lab concurrently in our department.
