I have been looking into taking O-chem through University of New England in a distance education format. It is supposed to fulfill the pre-med requirement and this might be a good option for me. Has anyone taken this course or know if it really fulfills the requirement for O-chem?

Thank You

But there's nothing comparable to going in and doing an actual lab yourself with real chemicals and spilling the carcinogenic methylene chloride directly on your hands repeatedly while extracting chlorophyl when you're supposed to be extracting caffeine.

LOL!👍 I am convinced I will be diagnosed with some rare cancer in the future that will be the result of taking organic chemistry lab.

It obviously fills the requirement for UNECOM, but I would check with the other schools. The fact that the lab is also online makes me question whether or not other schools will accept it. 😀
