Recommended Coursework Outside the Major

Consult with a departmental adviser.

Note(s)

• Students graduating with a major in biochemistry must complete 52 hours in the required chemistry and biology courses with at least a 2.0 in each course.
• Students majoring in biochemistry should plan on taking CHEM 425  and CHEM 426  during their Junior year. They are also encouraged to take BIOL 151 , BIOL 152 , BIOL 311  and BIOL 320  prior to Biochemistry 1: lecture and lab.
• Since both calculus and physics are prerequisites for CHEM 451 , students are encouraged to start the cognate sequences as soon as possible.
• Students may not double major in chemistry and biochemistry.
• Recitations cannot be counted as elective courses.
