The biochemistry major provides additional insight into the relationship of chemistry to living organisms. Throughout the programs in chemistry and biochemistry, students acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to be successful in fields in which women are still underrepresented, and they gain the opportunity to explore options such as graduate school, medical school, or employment in the industrial and non-profit sectors.<\/p>\n<p>Students in the College of Arts and Sciences may elect to pursue a B.S. degree in chemistry or biochemistry or a minor in either field.<\/p>\n<p>Prospective science majors should be aware that most upper-level science courses are offered every other year, and it may not be possible to complete the requirements for the major in one academic year, regardless of the number of credits transferred in. It is suggested that any student transferring in with more than 64 credits who plans to major in chemistry or biochemistry meet with a chemistry faculty member before registering for any courses in order to plan an appropriate program and to determine how long it will take her to complete the degree requirements.<\/p>\n<p>Students should note that <span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >MATH 123<\/span> is a prerequisite for (or can be taken concurrently with) the Fundamentals of Chemistry course.<\/p>\n<p>Students who elect to major in biochemistry may not minor in either biology or chemistry.<\/p>\n<span id=\"Major_Requirements\"><h2><a class=\"anchorGlyph\" name=\"major_req\"><\/a>Major Requirements<\/h2><\/span>\n<p><strong><a class=\"anchorGlyph\" name=\"major_req_chem\"><\/a>Major Requirements: Chemistry (34-37 credits)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>ALL of the following chemistry courses:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >CHEM 111<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >CHEM 112<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >CHEM 221<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >CHEM 222<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >CHEM 223<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >CHEM 224<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >CHEM 331<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >CHEM 332<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >CHEM 341<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >CHEM 350<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >CHEM 351<\/span><\/p>\n<p>ALL of the following mathematics and physics courses:<\/p>\n<p>MATH\u00a0125<br \/>\nMATH\u00a0225<br \/>\nPHYS\u00a0111<br \/>\nPHYS\u00a0112<\/p>\n<p>ONE Senior Seminar<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >NSCM 499<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Recommended Courses<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>CMSC\u00a0111<br \/>\nMATH\u00a0325<br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >CHEM 491<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >CHEM 497<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Students planning to attend graduate school in chemistry should also take a second semester of Physical Chemistry, along with Instrumental Analysis or Physical Chemistry I Laboratory.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Major Requirements: Biochemistry (32 credits)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>ALL of the following biology courses: (20 credits)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >BIOL 112<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >BIOL 241<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >BIOL 341<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >BIOL 441<\/span><\/p>\n<p>ALL of the following chemistry courses: (24 credits)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >CHEM 111<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >CHEM 112<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >CHEM 221<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >CHEM 222<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >CHEM 223<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >CHEM 224<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >CHEM 341<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >CHEM 431<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >CHEM 432<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >CHEM 435<\/span><\/p>\n<p>ALL of the following mathematics and physics courses:<\/p>\n<p>MATH\u00a0125<br \/>\nMATH\u00a0225<br \/>\nPHYS\u00a0111<br \/>\nPHYS\u00a0112<\/p>\n<p>ONE Senior Seminar<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >NSCM 499<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Students should note that <span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >MATH 123<\/span> is a prerequisite for (or must be taken concurrently with) <span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >CHEM 111<\/span>.
