Biology
Chemistry Major
This
is a dual major at the interface of biology and chemistry which
partially overlaps the requirements for those two individual
majors. It is particularly appropriate for students interested
in graduate work in biochemistry or molecular biology. It also
provides a strong background for students interested in medical,
dental, or veterinary graduate work. The major requires a minimum
of seventeen courses distributed as follows:
- Biology
43-44, Introductory Biology
- Biology
157, Cell Biology
- Biology
170, Molecular Biology
- Biology
177, Biochemistry
- Chemistry
14-15, Basic Principles of Chemistry
- Chemistry
116-117, Organic Chemistry
- Chemistry
121-122, Principles of Physical Chemistry
- Chemistry
126-127, Advanced Laboratory in Chemistry
- Physics
30, 31, General physics OR Physics 33, 34, Principles of Physics
- Mathematics
30, 31, Calculus I, II
- Biology
OR Chemistry 190L or 191 or 188L-190L. In general, a one-semester
thesis (191) is an extensive library research thesis; (190L)
is a one-semester experimental thesis; and a two-semester thesis
(188L and 190L) is a laboratory or field research project.
Students with a two-semester thesis normally take 188L, Senior
Research, in the Fall.
