Notes

Students normally take BIOL 410  in their senior year. BIOL 450 /CHEM 450  and BIHP 471/CHHP 471 may be substituted for BIOL 410  or CHEM 410  with the permission of the department chair.

Students considering medical, graduate or professional work in biochemistry research are advised to select BIOCH 406 , CHEM 304  and CHEM 420  as elective courses. Pre-medical and pre-dental students should select BIOL 298  and BIOL 299  and other elective courses in consultation with the health professions advisor.

No minor in biochemistry is available. Biochemistry majors may not minor in either chemistry or biology.

Exceptional students may double major in biochemistry and either biology or chemistry by taking all the courses required of both majors. To complete the double major in four years, students generally need Advanced Placement, summer school or overload credits.
