Organic chemistry for non-chemistry majors

NOTE: Due to the university’s efforts to reduce the risk and spread of COVID-19, Oregon State’s on-campus summer chemistry labs are subject to change. Please refer to the Ecampus Schedule of Classes, or contact the Department of Chemistry for more details at chemistry.ecampus@oregonstate.edu.

Organic chemistry is an upper-level sequence for students aspiring to careers in dentistry, medicine, optometry, pharmacy, chemical engineering, as well as students not majoring in chemistry, may require these additional chemistry training courses in their program of study.

Important note to pre-professional health students: the required organic chemistry lab, CH 337, is only available in person at the Corvallis or Bend campus. Some professional health schools do not allow online classes. Students are encouraged to contact the schools for their requirements.

Review the general information, course prerequisites and overrides for CH 331 and 332 before registering.
