Does Biochem count as a year of chemistry?

[souslepont]

For schools that require a year of upper level chemistry even if you do have AP credit, does biochem count? It's listed under both the chemistry and biology sections of the catalog at my school. I have 10 hours of credit from the AP, so I definitely don't want to take gen chem.

Also, since biochem lab at my school is only one semester, do I have to take another semester of some other chem lab (I'll probably take analytical, it's one semester with lab) to get the full year of lab credit?

Thanks!

if it doesn't count, I guess I can always take p-chem, which definitely doesn't sound like fun!

For most schools you will need 2 semesters of General and organic Chemistry. Some will let you substitute 1 orgo semester w/ 1 Biochem course, but not all. On the other hand, there are a few that require Biochem on top of Gen Chem and orgo.
