Gumbymom:

What is the description for each course?

Are both transferable? Which course does your guidance counselor recommend?

Thank you for your reply. I’m sorry that my initial reply was so vague and unhelpful. These are the given descriptions:

CHEM 100 DESCRIPTION: “Explores important concepts of modern chemistry. Emphasizes connection between basic scientific principles and the current technologies of our society. Laboratory experiments illustrate the process of scientific discovery. No background in science is required. Intended for non-science majors. Will not serve as a prerequisite for CHEM 102, CHEM 201, or advanced science courses. Meets the requirement for a general education science lab course.”

CHEM 101 DESCRIPTION: “Examines the concepts underlying modem chemistry including atomic and molecular structure, bonding, states of matter, and solutions. Intended for science majors, technology majors (STEM), and pre-allied health major. Laboratory experiments illustrate the lecture material. Meets the requirement for a general education science lab course.”

As for the prerequisites, their prerequisites are very similar, and I qualify to take both classes.

I currently do not know what I want to major in. I also do not have a high school guidance counselor because I am under a home-school umbrella.

Thank you for your time, I hope this follow up response is helpful.
