Candidates for a B.S. in Biochemistry must achieve a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.00 for all chemistry courses (CHEM-XXX) taken.h Grades earned for approved BISC courses taken in place of CHEM courses will be included in this GPA calculation.
|
- A second writing course is required involving significant writing experience including two papers with a combined minimum of 3,000 words to be submitted for extended faculty critique of both composition and content. This requirement can only be filled in the junior or senior year. A minimum grade of C must be earned. The course must be on the approved list of courses for the second writing requirement and must be designated as a second writing requirement section in the registration booklet when the course is taken. (biom)
- MATH-242 is strongly recommended.
- The language requirement is satisfied by proficiency,
at the intermediate (XXXX-107) level, in a modern foreign language.
- Group A, B, and C electives refer to the Arts and Science B.A. curriculum. A total of 21 credits in Groups A, B, and C are required, with a minimum of six credits in each group. The course used to satisfy the 3 credit multicultural course requirement may also satisfy part of the A/B/C group requirement simultaneously, as long as it is on the approved lists for both the A/B/C group and multicultural course requirements (biom).
- Acceptable biology courses are as follows:
BISC-300 Introduction to Microbiology (4)
BISC-306 General Physiology (3)
BISC-401 Molecular Biology of the Cell (3)
BISC-403 Genetic and Evolutionary Biology (3)
BISC-601 Immunochemistry (4)
BISC-654 Biochemical Genetics (3)
BISC-679 Virology (3)
- With advisor's consent. Grading for CHEM-468 will be P/F only, unless a comprehensive final report is written, whereupon a minimum of 3 credits and a maximum of 12 credits can be converted to a letter grade.
- Acceptable laboratory courses are as follows:
BISC-300 Introduction to Microbiology (4)
BISC-601 Immunochemistry (4)
BISC-315 Experimental Cell Biology (2)*
BISC-316 Experimental Physiology (2)*
BISC-411 Experimental Molecular Biology (2)*
BISC-413 Advanced Genetics Laboratory (2)* *Intended for BISC majors; very few openings for non-majors
- See footnote h in BSAS/CHEM curriculum.
- A 3 credit Discovery Learning Experience must be included in the total of 124 credits (see description in current Undergraduate Catalog).
