This interdisciplinary major is designed to prepare students for graduate school or a technical career in biochemistry/molecular biology. It is also a suitable preparation for the health professions. The curriculum is drawn from the Departments of Biology and Chemistry, with emphasis on cellular biology, genetics, and biochemistry, and laboratory techniques in these areas.

Requirements

A minimum of 13 course credits (12 courses if CHE 161 is taken) in Biology and Chemistry, which include these 12 required courses:

One Course Selected From

Recommended Courses

Note:

Biochemistry/Molecular Biology majors desiring to minor in Chemistry must complete at least two appropriate courses in Chemistry beyond those counted for the Biochemistry/Molecular Biology major. Biochemistry/Molecular Biology majors desiring to minor in Biology must do so by completing BIO 211 , BIO 321 , and an upper-level elective course chosen from the plant or animal grouping.
