For students who choose to take Chem 153A and Chem 153L, these courses can be applied to Category 6 of the EBE major – two additional upper division courses (from the approved list).

*NOTE: Chem 153A and/or Chem 153L may still be pre-requisites for professional schools (medical, dental, pharmacy, etc.). It is your responsibility to check with the schools that you plan to apply to determine whether or not Chem 153A and/or Chem 153L are required pre-requisites.
