Algebra, trig and calculus is needed for a chemistry degree anywhere. There are a lot of formulas in chemistry and without passable algebra you would be helpless. All the sciences need algebra.

Hi Amy, You need, generally speaking, a year of calculus along with a year of calculus based general physics for a chemistry degree regardless of where you study. So to answer your question "yes" you do need college algebra for a chemistry degree at OU and you will need to take calculus too.

Easy - the Chem Dept welcomes inquiries from prospective students here is the contact information: OU Department of Chemistry Phone:(405) 325-4121 E-mail: ldg123@ou.edu Just give them a call and ask them to send you a sample degree plan, including all prerequisites. that way you will have exact and reliable information.

According to their website, there are two chemistry degrees one can get at the University of Oklahoma. One is called Professional Chemistry, and the other is Chemistry & Biochemistry. In both cases, there is a requirement for two semesters of Calculus & Analytic Geometry. They don't mention prerequisites for that, since they assume you will have taken them in high school, but you would usually have to have taken college algebra and precalculus before beginning the required calculus sequence. Here are the requirements for each program: http://checksheets.ou.edu/chem-pro.pdf http://checksheets.ou.edu/chem-biochem-std.pdf

Yes, any serious chemistry degree from an equally serious college or university requires that the student know college algebra. You'll need it for the volume of chemical calculations that are integral to the study of chemistry.
