Requirements for
the Undergraduate Concentration
Degree of Bachelor of Arts
One year of general chemistry with laboratory; one year of organic chemistry with laboratory; one year of physics taught using calculus (PHYS 15a,b) with laboratory; BIOL 22a (formerly BIBC 22a) with laboratory (Genetics and Molecular Biology); BIOL 22b with laboratory (Cell Structure and Function) (the above courses must be taken prior to the senior year); BCHM 100a (Introductory Biochemistry); one year of physical chemistry, CHEM 141a (Physical Chemistry, Lectures I), and either BCHM 104b (Chemical Thermodynamics) or CHEM 143b (Kinetics, Dynamics, and Transport); and one elective consisting of a biochemistry-related 100-level course (excluding research courses) from any science department. The course used to fulfill the elective requirement must be approved in advance by the biochemistry undergraduate advising head.
Degree of Bachelor of Science
In addition to the degree requirements listed above for
the Bachelor of Arts degree, the Bachelor of Science degree
requires one year of BCHM 101a and b (Advanced Biochemistry).
Required of all students: No course offered for concentration
requirements may be taken pass/fail. Grades below C- in
upper- level courses (CHEM 41 a and b, and any course numbered
100 or above) cannot be used to fulfill the requirements
of the concentration. Furthermore, no more than one D will
be allowed in any other course required for the concentration.
