Right now the requirements include calculus, biotology, general chemistry, organic chemistry and physics. Organic chemistry is a “weed out” course; it’s main benefit is to give students a taste of what med school is like and to reduce [...]

When I went away to college after the summer when MTV was first launched, I had never heard of the term, "Historically Black Colleges and Universities." But during the following summer while taking organic chemistry, I lived in a dorm with two visiting HBCU students who were doing internships at a local pharmaceutical company. The gentleman who I grew closest to had come from Hampton University (then-Hampton...
