Other required courses - Math 135-136 is required of all chemistry majors. One year of physics is required of all chemistry majors 103-104 or 151-152 for Plan 2. Note that the calculus and physics courses are prerequisites for physical chemistry 341-342 which is typically a third-year chemistry sequence)
