III. Rationale

Chemistry reorganized and renumbered its courses. Kinesiology used to require majors to take CHEM 102-3, 115-2, 150-3 and 155-2. To adapt to the reorganization, we changed these requirements to CHEM 121-4 and 218-4. However, we forgot to include CHEM 122-2, which is a co-requisite for CHEM 281. Putting this in our requirements will help reduce confusion and ensure our students have the appropriate Chemistry courses.
