The
major in biochemistry is intended to provide a strong background
in the fundamentals of both biology and chemistry and to develop
an awareness of the unique principles of biochemistry. The core
curriculum consists of Chemistry 101, 201, 202, 302, and 308; Biological
Sciences 150, 200, and 210; and Biochemistry 311 and
314.

In addition
to these core courses, eight additional credits of advanced (300-level)
work are required. Advanced courses may be elected from 300-level
courses in Biochemistry, Biology and Chemistry. This requirement
is intended to increase the breadth and depth of your knowledge
and application of
biochemistry through related 300-level course work. Students who
are interested in taking the biochemistry core courses (Biochemistry
311 and 314) in their junior year are encouraged to complete at
least Chemistry 101 and 201 and Biological Sciences 150 and 200
during the first year.The committee further recommends Biological
Sciences 220 and Chemistry 325 to students planning graduate work
in biochemistry.
Finally,
all majors are required to complete a comprehensive written examination,
and all seniors must give an oral presentation on a biochemical
topic in the Senior/Science Symposium.
