could you clarify "a course sequence"?

One year biology or chemistry should be a course sequence. Can I take one semester of bio I or general chemistry I at one college, and then take bio II or general chemistry II at another college? Or I have to take Bio I and Bio II in one college?
Thank you very much.

I would call to check, but my guess is that taking both halves of a two part course at the same school is preferred/required. Bio 1 & 2 differ from school to school in content/order of topics, but usually the two of them manage to cover all of the Gen Bio topics over the course of a year at one school. Taking it all at one school makes sure that you get all of the information and no overlap.

Completely agree!

The school that I attended for undergrad separated Biology 1 and 2 into Plants (1) and Animals (2). There were FREQUENTLY transfer issues because I'd hear students in either course kvetching about having to "retake" something.

As with most course related things, check with the pharmacy school of choice to get further information. However, I would strongly advice against it.

I agree with the above posters. While you can probably take Chem (or Bio) 1 somewhere and Chem 2 somewhere else without too much enrollment trouble, the ideal situation would be to take both in succession at the same university. I also think the importance of doing this is amplified when you get to the more advanced course sequences, such as ochem or biochem, because the material covered in the first / second semesters will probably vary even more greatly as you change schools.
