Listing Chemistry college course under relevant coursework on CV

Hey all,

I've got a question I've been thinking about for a while.

Some semesters ago I took a chemistry course as my mandatory science course for my core classes. I decided to take chemistry as opposed to the default astronomy and biology classes that were usually taken and recommended for students in the business school.

The reasoning behind this decision was that I believed this course would allow me to further understand, albeit on a very basic level, certain aspects of O&G and general hydrocarbons.

Having said this, I am now debating on whether I should list this course (Chem 1151K) on my resume under relevant coursework. The course was very challenging and only taken by pre-med students.

I am pursuing a markets related role. My interest remains in commodities and O&G.

Pass or add?
