6 credits requires AP Score of 4,5 and completion of CHEM C3405-C3406 with grade of C or better. Note:

The department grants advanced placement (AP) credit for a score of 4 or 5. The amount of credit granted is based on the results of

the department placement exam and completion of the requisite course. Students who are placed into CHEM C1604 are granted 3

points of credit; students who are placed into CHEM C3405- C3406 are granted 6 points of credit. In either case credit is granted

only upon completion of the course with a grade of C or better. Students must complete a department placement exam prior to

registering for either of these courses.

Chemistry Tracks

All students must take a placement exam. The results of the placement exam are used to advise students which track to pursue. Unless

otherwise specified below all students must complete one of the following tracks.

Credit by Examination (AP & CLEP)

Hillsdale College recognizes the Advanced Placement Program of the College Entrance Examination Board. Students taking college-level courses in secondary school and performing at a satisfactory level (4 or 5) on the Advanced Placement Examinations will be granted advanced placement and college credit.

While Hillsdale College acknowledges AP credit for scores of 4 or 5, they do not specify what courses are eligible for AP

credit on their website or in their online course catalog (I have a campus visit scheduled for Monday, January 21 to get

more information about the school).

Listing of Hillsdale’s chemistry program is shown below:

Chemistry Major

The student majoring in chemistry must take the following courses:

CHM 303 Organic Chemistry I CHM 304 Organic Chemistry II CHM 406 Inorganic Chemistry CHM 415 Analytical Chemistry CHM 452 Biochemistry CHM 475 Junior Seminar CHM 502 Physical Chemistry I CHM 503 Physical Chemistry II CHM 522 Instrumental Analysis CHM 570 Senior Seminar CHM 590 Chemical Research Note: CHM 101 and CHM 102, or equivalent, are required as prerequisites for CHM 303. Chemistry 570 and 590 require completion of a guided laboratory research project by the senior year (completed no later than fall of the senior year) and a written report. Requirements for an ACS-certified degree include all of the above with the addition of one of the following four advanced courses:

CHM 403 Advanced Organic Chemistry CHM 419 Analytical Separation Science CHM 453 Advanced Biochemistry CHM 504 Advanced Topics in Physical Chemistry

Students are required to do a more extensive research project culminating in a senior presentation and thesis, which requires completion of CHM 575, Senior Thesis.

In addition, the following courses (or their equivalents) are required for the chemistry major and should be completed prior to the junior year in order to meet prerequisites for upper-level courses:

MTH 220 Calculus II BIO 202 Molecular Genetics and Cellular Function PHY 201 University Physics I PHY 202 University Physics II

Further, all chemistry majors must pass a comprehensive standardized examination during their senior year.

Departmental Honors

Students who elect to do a thesis research project along with associated oral and written presentations (CHM

575) are eligible for departmental honors consideration, even if they elect the non-ACS degree option. A

student who attains a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.30 in the chemistry or biochemistry major

and an 85 percent grade or higher on the senior thesis will receive departmental honors. Consideration may

also be given to a student with a major grade-point average between 3.00 and 3.30 who submits an

extraordinary thesis.

individual will receive 12 units of 5.111, which is “Principles of Chemical Science.” The test is offered just before the

AP Score Equivalents

The AP test scores will be used by academic departments as one piece of information to determine advanced placement or

validation for new cadets. USMA also provides its own testing for new cadets to determine if they will be scheduled for

the standard course, the advanced course or if they can validate the course. Five different departments provide USMA

placement testing/validation opportunities to new cadets during the month of July. An AP Chemistry score of 4 or 5 can

be important in validating chemistry.

Giving Your Score

Students who are considering attending USMA will list

*Equivalent to one course credit, and used to complete a bachelor’s degree in less than eight terms.

Introductory Courses

There are four entry points into the general chemistry offerings. All paths fulfill medical school requirements and satisfy the prerequisite for organic chemistry or any other department's requirements for general chemistry.

CHEM 112 and 113, Chemistry with Problem Solving I and II, is for students who have had moderate or no exposure to the subject. Special emphasis is placed on scientific problem-solving skills. There are two discussion sections per week, including one devoted exclusively to quantitative problem solving. A typical student may have taken a year of descriptive chemistry as a high school sophomore, but has not been exposed to the problem-solving approach used in many university-level science courses.

CHEM 114, Comprehensive General Chemistry I, is similar in content to CHEM 112 but is designed for students who have had more quantitative high school courses in either chemistry or physics. There is one discussion section per week. A typical student in CHEM 114 may have taken one or two years of chemistry in high school and has had some exposure to quantitative problem-solving scientific methods. Over half of the students taking CHEM 114 last studied chemistry as high school sophomores.

CHEM 115, Comprehensive General Chemistry II, is the second term of the standard university-level general chemistry sequence; it is taken by students who have completed CHEM 114. Students who feel sufficiently prepared by their high school background may accelerate their studies one term by starting directly with CHEM 115 in the fall. They are then prepared to begin the organic chemistry sequence with CHEM 220 in the spring.

CHEM 118, Quantitative Foundations of General Chemistry, is a one-term honors-level chemistry course for students with a strong chemistry background. It is designed to emphasize quantitative aspects of general chemistry. Typical CHEM 118 students have a score of 5 on the Chemistry AP test, a score above 760 on the SAT subject test in chemistry, or other evidence of advanced standing in science. Upon completing CHEM 118, students can begin the organic chemistry sequence immediately with CHEM 220 in the spring term.

Advanced Courses for Freshmen

Three more advanced course sequences are available to well-prepared freshmen:

CHEM 124 and 125, Freshman Organic Chemistry I and II, is a small, intensive course open to freshmen with excellent science backgrounds. Typical students have a score of 5 on the Chemistry AP test, a score above 760 on the SAT subject test in chemistry, a full year of high school physics, and some exposure to calculus. In addition to these qualifications, students must confirm their competence in general chemistry by taking the Chemistry department's placement examination.

CHEM 220, Organic Chemistry, and 230, The Organic Chemistry of Biological Pathways. Students qualified for CHEM 124, 125 may also choose the standard organic chemistry sequence, CHEM 220, 230. Students interested in this optional mode of acceleration as freshmen must qualify by taking the placement examination.

CHEM 332 and 333, Physical Chemistry with Applications in the Physical Sciences I and II,

provides excellent preparation for accelerated study of physical sciences and engineering. Freshmen who possess strong mathematics and physics backgrounds and meet the requirements for CHEM 124, 125 are admitted to this course.

Premedical Requirements

Premedical students taking CHEM 332, 333 count this course as their general chemistry requirement and follow with a year of organic chemistry. Students taking CHEM 124, 125 or 220, 230 may fulfill their premedical chemistry requirement by taking two additional terms of any higher-numbered nonorganic chemistry course, often a course in biochemistry or an inorganic chemistry course such as CHEM 252. Students who start with CHEM 115 or 118 typically take a term course in biochemistry after completing a year of organic chemistry.
