Biochemistry Minor

An interdisciplinary minor in biochemistry may be of interest to some students concentrating in chemistry. For chemistry majors, the minor is awarded on the successful completion of 18 credits from the following course work:

REQUIRED CORE (12 credits): Chem 209 or Chem 307 (Organic); Chem 414 (Biochemistry); Bio 203 and 204 (Principles of Biology)

ELECTIVES (at least two courses totaling 6 credits):  Bio 406 (Cell Biology); Bio 415 (General Endrocrinology); Bio 420 (Genetic Analysis); Bio 433 (Developmental Biology); Bio 436 (Advanced Cell Biology); Bio 442 (Molecular Genetics); Bio 445 (Neurobiology).

Minor requirements for students majoring in other disciplines may be found at http://web.wm.edu/charlescenter/interdisciplinary/biochemistry.php

Many of these courses have prerequisites as listed in the Undergraduate Catalog; thus appropriate planning for the minor should begin as early on as possible. You must see Dr. Bebout to complete the declaration for the biochemistry minor no later than the Fall semester of the senior year.
