Chemistry Major with Biochemistry Emphasis
This program is designed for the student who wishes to pursue a career
as a professional chemist in the area of biochemistry and the biological
sciences.
Below is a suggested schedule of courses. This information
is provided as a guide and does not supersede information provided by advisors
or the Undergraduate Catalog. Each student will develop a specific course
schedule in consultation with their
academic advisor.
For details of all the University, College, and Department
requirements for graduation, consult the
Catalog.
Suggested Schedule of Courses (pdf document)
Hard copies of this document are available in the Chemistry Department.
Notes:
-
Students may request a written examination in an attempt to test-out of the
General Chemistry courses Chem 105,105L, 106, 106L.
-
The Department strongly encourages (but will not require) biochemistry
majors to consider taking physical chemistry Chem
461, 461L,
462,
462L
instead of the survey course Chem 465, 465L listed above. Students who
elect to do so (and complete the full physical chemistry sequence)
will have satisfied the physical chemistry requirement for the major and
may additionally count six of the earned hours toward the required
ten advanced elective hours. Contact your academic
advisor.
-
The Department also encourages biochemistry majors to enroll in Math 132
(Calculus II) and to consider taking Phys 205, 205L, 206, 206L instead
of the Phys 105, 105L, 106, 106L sequence listed above.
