The Minor

The department offers an undergraduate minor in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology geared toward majors in the physical and life sciences. It requires successful completion of the following courses:
BIOLOGY 151 Introductory Biology I
BIOCHEM 275 Molecular Biology
BIOCHEM 423 General Biochemistry I
BIOCHEM 424 General Biochemistry II
One of the following: BIOLOGY 283 General Genetics or ANIMLSCI 311 Animal Genetics or BIOCHEM 390G Molecular Genetics and Genomics.

BIOLOGY 151 is a prerequisite for BIOCHEM 275, which in turn is a prerequisite for the upper-level BIOCHEM courses. Grade requirements are as described for the Biochemistry major. Students are responsible for satisfying eligibility and course prerequisites.  Students intending to complete a minor should meet with the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Departmental Chief Undergraduate Advisor.
