<p>Would “Chemistry of our Environment” and “Survey of Biomedical Chemistry” be examples of “Life Science Chemistry”? </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I want to know the same thing. DD is applying to Boston College nursing school. They require a course I’ve never heard of- Life Science Chemistry, with lab. This is the only pre-req she doesn’t have. She has taken one semester of Chem, which is what the other nursing programs require. Without taking a 2 year chemistry series including Organic, where does she find such a class?</p>
<p>^It’d probably be best to contact the school directly. Here’s what I found on the Boston College website as their description for the Life Science Chemistry course offered by the school:</p>
<p>CH 161 Life Science Chemistry (Fall: 3)</p>
<p>Corequisite: CH 163
This course first introduces basic chemical principles in preparation for a discussion of the chemistry of living systems that forms the major part of the course. Organic chemical concepts will be introduced as necessary, and applications will be made wherever possible to physiological processes and disease states that can be understood in terms of their underlying chemistry.</p>
<p>It sort of sounds like general (maybe basic organic) chemistry for life science majors. It might be best to see if a semester of general or organic chemistry would be acceptable to fulfill this requirements. The school may be able to give more focused direction though. I’ve never heard of this class either.</p>
