OBJECTIVES Th e major is designed especiall y fo r those student s planning a career in th e health pro fess ions. Th e req uirements for schools of medicine, pharmacy, dentistry and medical tech nology are met within thi s major. This program also prepares one for graduate school in a variety of bio science programs. There are excel lent opportunities for careers in biotechnical, pharmaceutical and environmental related businesses and

While primarily provid ing service courses for other programs, the depart ment does offer two programs with chemistry as th e majo r component. These are Biochemi stry and Phys ica l Science with a chem istry emphasis. Since chemist.I')' is the study of mat ter and the changes it undergoes, sequences of courses are designed to meet the needs of students as they pre pare for a variety of different majors that require an understanding of tl1e nature of matter. 1l1e objective of these courses is to provide the student with a basic understanding of the laws of theories of chemistry such that the student will be able (I) to explain tl1e basic physical and chemical properties of matter in terms of its strncnlfe, (2) to do quantitative prob lem solving, (3) to gain some level of pro ficiency in laboratory metl1odology, and (4) to be acquainted witl1 basic resource material in chemistry. DEGREE PROGRAM A Bachelar of Science degree in Physi cal Science with a Chemist,y emphasis is offered. The requirements for this major are given under the Physical Science Department. The Biochem istry Program is given be low. MINOR A 01emist1y Minor requires the com pletion of 27 units, including tl1e follow ing cotlfSes: Chemistry 105, 106,301 , 302, 350. Six distinct chemistry minor units apart from any other major or minor.

A Bachelor of Science degree in Bio chemistry is offered upon completion of th e university baccalaureate and major requirements. The biochem istry major consists of 65 unit s of chemistry, biology, physics and math courses. Required lower division (28 units) are: Chemistry 105, 106; Biol ogy Ill , 112; Physics 111 , 112 or 132, 233; Math 105. Required upper divi sion (25 units ) are: Chemistry 30 I, 302,350, 422AB; Biology 312,411, 412; Physical Science 460 (o r Biology 470). Electives (12 units, of which 8 must be upper division) are: Chem istry 420, 480; Biology 281 , 282, 322, 342; Physics 234, 321 , 450. Nol£: The general education requimnent for mathematics and science is met within this major. The foreign language require ment is met by two year, in high sdwol or four units ofcollege formgn language.
