You may think that all science majors are created equal and that a chemistry major will have a much greater chance at getting a job than, say, a liberal arts major. But if you’ve spoken to a former chemistry major who has spent some time in the “real world,” you’ll quickly learn that this isn’t…
Every Advanced Placement (AP) subject is more challenging than its regular course. Both AP Chem and AP Bio courses for high-school students include curricula that are otherwise taught in college. Which one is harder? The harder course between AP Chem and AP Bio will vary from one student to another. AP Chemistry involves Algebra, while…
Chemistry is an age-long field of science that most students come across at some point in their education. Despite its long history, it was only around the 17th century that scientists discovered, or agreed, that chemistry existed in two primary forms: organic and inorganic. While organic chemistry studies only carbon-containing compounds, inorganic chemistry explores the…
Planning your college course schedule can be challenging. You need to make sure you are fulfilling the minimum credit requirement to stay enrolled and ensure that you have enough free time to complete your coursework. If you’re in an intensive major such as one of the life sciences or something health-related, you will have many…
AP Chem and Chemistry are two challenging science courses offered in high school. Though they cover the same topics, there are significant differences in the level of difficulty. How do you choose between the two courses? Chemistry covers measurement and units, matter, energy, atoms, molecules, chemical equations, and the periodic table. AP Chemistry covers those…
As a university student, you’ll most likely need to take at least one science course during your college career. But deciding on which classes to take depends on a variety of factors, including what your major is. You should take chemistry first in college because biology builds on the ideas taught in chemistry unless you…
