Biochemistry is an interdisciplinary major. Students who pursue an interdisciplinary major automatically fulfill the College's "outside the major" requirement. Students interested in the biochemistry major are encouraged to complete at least Chemistry 101 and Biological Sciences 150 and 200 during the first year. The committee recommends Chemistry 325, as well as further study in cell biology, to students planning graduate work in biochemistry. No minor in biochemistry is offered.
