Chemistry S1403D and S1404Q may be counted toward the science requirement for most Columbia University undergraduates.

The sequence Chemistry S3443, S3444, and S3543 meets the minimum requirement in organic chemistry for admission to medical school. Consult your premed adviser.

Lab fees, paid at the time of registration, cover the costs of nonreturnable items, chemicals, and reasonable breakage. In addition, students may be charged for excessive breakage, returning equipment uncleaned, or late check-out. Students must present lab fee receipt at the first laboratory meeting.
