Required Courses

The following course descriptions were drawn from the UNC-Chapel Hill Undergraduate Bulletin. Students attending a school other than The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill as undergraduates should use the Bulletin as a guide for completing the required science courses. Required courses not completed at an accredited four-year institution must be transferable to UNC-Chapel Hill as equivalent courses.


Chemistry
101 General Descriptive Chemistry l (3). Corequisite, Chemistry 101L. Atomic and molecular structure, stoichiometry and conservation of mass, thermochemical changes, and conservation of energy. Three lecture hours a week. Corequisite Chemistry 101L; Prerequisite Math 110.
101L Quantitative Chemistry l (1). Corequisite, Chemistry 101. One four-hour laboratory a week
102 General Descriptive Chemistry II (3). Prerequisite, Chemistry 101; corequisite, Chemistry 102L. Chemical equilibrium, reaction rates, representative chemical structures, and reactions. Three lecture hours a week.
102L Quantitative Chemistry Laboratory II (1). Prerequisite, Chemistry 101L; corequisite, Chemistry 102. Techniques for quantitative acid-base, redox, and complexometric titrimetry. Gravimetric analysis. Total salt ion exchange analysis. One four-hour laboratory a week.
261 Introduction to Organic Chemistry I (3). Prerequisite, Chemistry 102 or 102H; corequisite, Chemistry 102. Molecular structure and its determination by modern physical methods, correlation between structure and reactivity and the theoretical basis for these relationships; classification of "reaction types" exhibited by organic molecules using as examples molecules of biological importance. Three lecture hours a week.
262 Introduction to Organic Chemistry II (3). Prerequisite, Chemistry 261 or 165H. Continuation of Chemistry 261, with particular emphasis on the chemical properties of organic molecules of biological importance. Three lecture hours a week.
Biology
101 Principles of Biology (3). Prerequisite to most higher courses in biology. An introduction to the fundamental principles of biology, including cell structure, chemistry and function, development, genetics, evolution, adaptation, and ecology. Three lecture hours a week.
101L Introductory Biology Laboratory (1). Corequisite, Biology 101. An examination of the major groups of living things, both plant and animal, with emphasis on dissection and examination of living and preserved specimens. Three laboratory hours a week.
Take either 252 or both 276 and 276L (below)
252 Fundamentals of Human Anatomy and Physiology (4). Prerequisites, Biology 101, 101L. A multimedia-based course with computer-assisted instruction emphasizing the relationship between structure and function of the major body systems and the mechanisms of homeostatic control of physiological activity. Three lecture hours a week plus a one-hour recitation.
276 Structure and Evolution of Vertebrates (3). Prerequisites, Biology 101, 101L. A history of the human body with emphasis on evolutionary history of vertebrates and anatomical evolution of organ systems. Three lecture hours a week. Fall, spring.
276L Vertebrate Structure and Evolution Laboratory (1). Prerequisite or corequisite, Biology 276. Vertebrate comparative anatomy of organ systems and their evolution, with emphasis on human anatomy. Three laboratory hours a week.
Physics - The basic requirement is at least two semesters of non-calculus based physics
102 General Physics (4). Corequisite, Mathematics 130 or equivalent. Only one of Physics 104, 105, 116, and 116H may be taken for credit. Three lecture hours and two laboratory hours a week.
105 General Physics (4). Prerequisite, Physics 104. Only one of Physics 105, 117, and 117A may be taken for credit. Three lecture hours and two laboratory hours a week.
English
  Two semesters (or courses required for a degree in an approved college).
