Chemistry Offers a New Undergraduate Option in Biological Chemistry

The new "biochemistry track" is a concentration within chemistry that emphasizes biological chemistry. While the requirements for the chemistry major will remain the same, the new option in biological chemistry has different course requirements. Both the traditional chemistry major and the new biological chemistry option will lead to a B.S. degree in chemistry.

The chemistry major option in biological chemistry requires the following courses:
* BIOSCI 41, 42, 44X (may be taken for two units)
* MATH 41, 42, 51, 53
* PHYSICS 41, 43
* CHEM 31A & B or 31X, 33, 35, 36, 130, 131, 134, 136, 151, 171, 173, 176, 184, 185, 188, 189

Please note: Chemistry 184 is a new biological chemistry lab course offered in the spring quarter; Chemistry 185 is a new biological chemistry lecture course offered in autumn 2007 (chemistry 175 may substitute for 185 for seniors during 06-07). For additional information, contact Roger Kuhn.
