Chemistry

The Chemistry Department is home to internationally renowned faculty and state-of-the-art research facilities. 

Please note, it is not necessary to complete prerequisites at Columbia University. Students are expected to meet pre-requisite requirements prior to registration.

Chemistry S1403 and S1404 may be counted toward the science requirement for most Columbia University undergraduates.

The sequence Chemistry S2443, S2444, and S2543 meets the minimum requirement in organic chemistry for admission to medical school. Consult your premed adviser.

Lab fees, paid at the time of registration, cover the costs of non-returnable items, chemicals, and reasonable breakage. In addition, students may be charged for excessive breakage, returning equipment uncleaned, or late check-out. Students must present the lab fee receipt at the first laboratory meeting.
