Prospective Undergraduates

The Department of Biochemistry leads to a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree. The聽major requires 26 hours of upper division coursework. The major requires courses in general, organic, and physical chemistry as well as in calculus and physics. Additional courses in biochemistry and biology are also required.听A year of general chemistry, year of organic chemistry and additional upper division courses are required for the minor.

In addition to these requirements, students must fulfill the College of Arts and Sciences' core curriculum. The core curriculum covers three skills acquisition areas and seven content areas of study. This is designed to provide students with a broad education. Credits taken for the major may also apply toward these core hours.

Undergraduate Opportunities

The Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program, UROP, offers students a chance to work alongside a faculty sponsor on original research. Learn to write proposals, conduct research, pursue creative work, analyze data, and present the results. For more information please visit the聽.听 Visit the following website for a list of other funding opportunities for undergraduates聽.听

Independent study (BCHM聽4091), provides an opportunity for a student to work on a research project with an individual faculty member outside of the regular class structure. This generally provides an experience much more like real-life biochemistry, where new results are being sought and the outcome of the research is not known in advance. The student may have a totally independent project or may become part of a research team working at the forefront of science. In favorable cases, the project may result in publication of the results of the independent study in the scientific literature. As part of the research team in a particular group, the student will usually participate in group seminars and informal discussions with other members of the group.

The experience of studying abroad can prove invaluable for a聽Biochemistry major.

Further information about study abroad programs is available from the聽.

Biochemistry majors can also earn certification as teachers through the School of Education. The program for a secondary school science-teaching certificate is challenging requiring a broad, strong background in science, as well as course work in education and practice teaching. It usually requires at least five years of study. Students interested in teacher certification are encouraged to contact聽.
