• CHEM 239Organic Chemistry IIopens 18 courses (11 directly)

The map

Intro tiers at the top, advanced work below; arrows point from a prerequisite to the course it unlocks. Courses from other departments appear where they gate CHEM work. Click any course to see what it requires and unlocks without leaving this page; hovering lights up its neighbors. The lists on this page carry the same courses in text form.

Showing the 62 CHEM and feeder courses that have prerequisite links. 44 more CHEM courses have no recorded prerequisites. They are listed under Tracks below, not drawn as loose dots here.

Concentration routes

The concentrations and majors that build on CHEM, and how their requirements are structured. Expand a program to see which courses satisfy each group, then plan it in the Planner.
