Curriculum Requirements Program-Specific Core Curriculum (GE) Courses

Biochemistry majors automatically meet the Core Curriculum requirement of 6 credits in science and mathematics. The foreign language requirement is met by two years in high school or 4 credits of college foreign language. Program Courses Required lower division courses (25 credits) include: BIOS 111 Fundamentals of Cellular and Molecular Biology

care, academia, and industry. Degree Program

3

A Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry is offered upon completion of the University baccalaureate and major requirements. Biochemistry is the study of the chemistry of living systems; thus this interdisciplinary program requires upper-division course work both in biology and chemistry. The Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry offers two concentrations. The premedical concentration is designed especially for those students planning a career in health professions and the requirements for schools of medicine, pharmacy, dentistry and medical technology can be met within this major. The General Biochemistry concentration prepares one for graduate school and careers in a variety of bioscience programs. Biochemistry majors have excellent opportunities for employment in biotechnical, pharmaceutical and environmental businesses and governmental agencies. Learning Outcomes Program Learning Outcomes Upon completion of the Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry, students will be able to: 1. Demonstrate an understanding of the foundational principles of biochemistry (ULO 1). 2. Demonstrate an ability to solve quantitative and conceptual technical problems related to biochemistry (ULO 1). 3. Demonstrate safe laboratory technique, proper use of appropriate equipment, and suitable results and data analysis (ULO 1). 4. Obtain and use appropriate biochemical literature and resource materials (ULO 1).
