Honors Chemistry II

Dual Enrollment

 

Is Dual Enrollment right for you?

 

Students studying Honors Chemistry II have the option of electing dual enrollment with Lehigh Carbon Community College.  Students who choose dual enrollment will be registered for LCCC’s CHEM 106 course, Physiological Chemistry. 

 

          Physiological Chemistry is a 4-credit lab science course that LCCC requires for students majoring in nursing and veterinary technician programs.  Most schools with nursing, dental hygiene, or veterinary technician programs will accept this course and transfer the credits.  The dual enrollment option is ideal for Salisbury students who are planning to pursue careers in these fields.

 

          Salisbury students who are NOT planning to major in a science curriculum in college will usually find that they still need to elect one lab science in college.  Dual enrollment gives these students the opportunity to get their lab science elective out of the way while still in high school.

 

          Salisbury students who are planning to major in chemistry, pre-med, engineering, or a similar science field in college may or may not benefit from dual enrollment.  In many cases, colleges will not find this course to be comparable in content to the chemistry courses which they require in these science-intensive majors.  While they may be willing to accept LCCC credits, having these credits will not necessarily eliminate the need to take the full complement of chemistry courses required in a student’s major.  Students considering such majors should contact their college of choice before committing to dual enrollment.  As an alternative, Mrs. Stetzel is happy to work with these students to prepare them for the AP chemistry exam.

 

          If you still have questions about whether or not dual enrollment is a smart choice for you, see Mrs. Stetzel or your guidance counselor for more information.
