The Concentration in Biochemistry provides a specialization in biochemistry within the curriculum leading to the B.S. in Chemistry. This concentration is designed to prepare students for graduate programs in biochemistry, medicine and related professions, or for employment in biochemistry or biotechnology industries. The proper scheduling of courses is important, and the student should work closely with a biochemistry advisor (Dr. Banks, Dr. Raner, or Dr. Reddick) when planning a schedule.
1. All majors must complete mathematics at least through MAT 292 Calculus II. Depending upon the individual mathematics background*, some students may start with Math 150 rather than Math 151 and extend the sequence of math courses by one semester. Others may start with Math 191. Majors are strongly advised to elect additional advanced mathematics courses. *(Math Placement Exam required. See the Mathematics section of the Academic Guide for New Students.)
2. German is especially useful for a chemist, but any foreign language may be selected. If the student is able to begin at the intermediate level in the Freshman Year, a second year of language may not be required.
3. The sequence listed here for meeting the General Education and College Additional Requirements (identified by capital letters in parentheses) is a suggestion only and may be arranged to fit each student’s particular situation. CST 105, which fulfills the GRD requirement, is also recommended.
4. Only major requirement and related area requirement courses in which grades of C- or better are earned will be counted toward the major. Students must earn a C- or better in prerequisite major requirement and related area requirement courses before advancing to subsequent courses..
5. Advanced Biochemistry requirement: 3-4 credits in CHE 492-492 (Indep. Study) or BIO 494 (Intro. to Biotechnology).
6. Senior Chemistry majors register for CHE 401 and attend seminar, whether or not they plan to present a seminar this first semester. All must register for CHE 402 for the second semester. A grade will be given in the second semester, based on presentation and attendance in CHE 401 and CHE 402. Juniors are encouraged to attend.
