Question about Pace's Prerequisites (Chemistry)

Published

Hi,

I'm planning on applying to Pace's accelerated program, and I'm currently in the process of taking prerequistes. However, on Pace's website, it says that one of the prerequisites is a 3-credit Introduction to Chemistry (Chem101), however, the only class I can take at my current school, SUNY New Paltz, is a 4-credit General Chemistry I (w/lab) class in my area. Would that be okay to take instead of the 3-credit class, or does it have to be that particular class?

Thanks again,

Best bet is to call the school and ask but i would think that it is ok. the class is 4 credits because it includes a lab. if not, it would be a 3 credit course

I'd call- but I can't see why they wouldn't allow a class that is more intensive and covers more material plus a lab. That would be kind of silly.

Having said that, I hated General Chemistry w/lab. If I'd have looked all over town for an intro class if they'd allowed it! :)

Taking a 4-credit science class is ALWAYS better than taking a 3-credit one, especially if you want to continue your education beyond the ASN/BSN level.

I cannot imagine any accredited school refusing a science course with a lab component over an equivalent one without a lab.

Alright, thanks guys! I eventually decided to call them and they were like, "yeah, sure!" I surprised at how nice they were lol.
