Minor in Biochemistry

Advisors: Drs. B. Butler and B. Greenberg (Biology), Drs. E. Daub and S. Forsey (Chemistry)

The Biochemistry Minor is designed for students in either Biology or Chemistry who do not qualify for a minor in the other discipline. The Biochemistry Minor is also available to students in other plans.

In order to graduate with a Minor in Biochemistry, the following requirements must be met.

  1. The following courses must be successfully completed.

BIOL 130, 140;
CHEM 120, 120L, 123, 123L, 233 or 237, 264, 265, 265L or 266L, 333 or 331;
Four of BIOL 208, 331, 354, 428, 431, 434, 438, 439, 448;
Two of CHEM 357, 432, 433, 434.

  1. A minimum cumulative average of 60% must be obtained separately in Biology and Chemistry.

Note
CHEM 266 and CHEM 267 normally will not count towards the Minor in Biochemistry. A Minor in Biochemistry will not be awarded together with a Minor in Biology and/or Chemistry (as this would require triple counting of some courses).
