AP Organic Chemistry

<p>

</p>

<p>Organic chemistry is taken by students majoring in biology, chemistry, and chemical engineering. Biology is by far the largest of these majors, but is heavily populated by pre-meds (the other two also likely have significant pre-med populations). Some colleges offer different organic chemistry courses for biology versus chemistry and chemical engineering majors (the courses for the latter would be more in-depth and difficult), so which one should an AP course emulate if such were made?</p>

<p>Introductory economics that AP economics emulates is typically a relatively easy freshman level course in college, while organic chemistry is typically a relatively difficult sophomore level course in college. Student demand for the college sophomore level courses, as well as teachers and facilities (labs) to teach them in high schools, is likely small enough that it is not worth the bother.</p>
