Nine courses in Biology and Chemistry:
A two- term biochemistry sequence for biochemistry majors which can be taken in any order:
In addition, students must have:
Math through and including
Note: Typically, students complete introductory biology, chemistry and math courses in their first year.
In addition to the courses above, students are required to take 3 additional electives. Two additional Biology courses to be chosen from:
Biochemistry: Biological Sciences: Sub-Cellular
Biochemistry: Biological Sciences: Organismal
Requirements for Honors in Biochemistry
Students eligible for honors in biochemistry must satisfactorily complete a thesis, traditionally based on the results of original research. It is customary, but not required, that students enroll in three honors research courses, typically during the senior year.
In addition students must fulfill the following criteria:
- have achieved a cumulative index of 3.3 or better
- have an index of 3.3 or better in courses taken in the major (this dos not include cognate courses in math and physics or grades associated with senior thesis (BIO 491, BIO 492 and BIO 493). At least three of the courses used to calculate the major GPA must have a grade of A- or better
- Students eligible for honors in biochemistry must satisfactorily complete a thesis, traditionally based on the results of original research, that receives the approval of the subcommittee for biochemistry, on which a grade of not lower than A- has been earned.
