Suggested Sequence of Courses for a B.S./B.A.  in Biochemistry

The biochemistry program is an inter-departmental program administered by a  committee selected from the faculty of the Departments of Biology and Chemistry.    Both a B.A. and a B.S. are available.  Interested students should direct inquires to Dr. Ildiko Kovach, the Advising Coordinator, or Dr. John Golin of the Department of  Biology (319-5722).

The course requirements are designed to provide rigorous but balanced training in both biology and chemistry.   In addition, undergraduate students are encouraged to participate  in laboratory research with the faculty or at area research facilities such as the National Institutes of Health and the Walter reed Army Institute of Research.   The biochemistry curriculum fulfills course requirements for most post-graduate schools in areas such as chemistry, biochemistry, cell biology,  molecular biology,  as well as most life science professional schools in  medicine, dentistry,  veterinary sciences and optometry.
