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). 5. Summarize the key issues in science and faith and recognize the harmony possible while studying God's creation (ULO 1, 2, and 3). Each Program Learning Outcome (PLO) listed above references at least one of the University Learning Outcomes (ULO 1, 2, 3), which may be found in the General Information (p. 6) section of this catalog. Requirements Integration Seminar Requirement Students enrolled in the Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry degree program are required to take BBST 465 as Christianity and the Natural Sciences, or another approved Integration Seminar topic (see advisor). GPA Requirements To continue in the program a student is required to have a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher in their first year of chemistry, physics and/or math courses taken at Biola. Depending on the major, these courses may include: CHEM 105, CHEM 106, CHEM 301, CHEM 302, CHEM 311, and CHEM 312.
higher in one of these courses will result in the student not receiving credit for that course upon entry into the M.A.C.M.L.. 4. Apply and be admitted to Talbot's M.A. in Christian Ministry and Leadership with a specialization in Preaching and Pastoral Ministry program. One of the required letters of recommendation must come from the director of the Preaching and Pastoral Ministry program. Students who are not admitted into the senior year portion of the B.A. PPM may return to the non-concentration B.A. in Biblical and Theological Studies, where no credits will be lost or wasted. For more information on the graduate curriculum, see the M.A. in Christian Ministry and Leadership, Preaching and Pastoral Ministry specialization (p. 380). In addition to the courses listed above, Preaching and Pastoral Ministry concentration students must take:

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 program is designed especially for those students planning a career in health professions. The requirements for schools of medicine, pharmacy, dentistry and medical technology are met within this major. This program also prepares one for graduate school in a variety of bioscience programs. There are excellent opportunities for careers in biotechnical, pharmaceutical and environmental businesses and governmental agencies.
