FAQs
Here are answers to common questions about the bootcamps.
304 and 305 combined are equivalent to 306. We split 306 into two courses (304 and 305) to allow students to take either the first or second organic chemistry lab separately. While there may be slight differences in the experiments depending on the professor, the overall experience and course outcomes are the same. 304/305 is offered in Green Bay, while 306 is offered in Manitowoc.
