Biorhemishy is the study of the rhem- ist,y of living systems. "/1zis interdisciplinmy program draws uf1on biology and rhemishy. OBJECTIVES The major is designed especially for those studen ts planning a career in the health profess ions. Th e requirements for schools of medicine, pharmacy, demisll)' and medical tech- nology are met within thi s maj or. This program also prepares one for graduate school in a variety of bio- sc ience prog rams. There are excel- lent opportun itie s for ca ree rs in biotcc hni ca l, ph armaceutica l and em~ronmemal related businesses and
While primari ly providing se rYi ce courses fo r other programs, the depart- ment does offe r two programs with chemi stry as th e major component. These arc Biochemistry and Ph ys ical Science with a chemistry emphas is. Since chemi stry is the study of mauer and the changes it undergoes, sequences or courses are designed to me et th e needs of students as they prepa re f"or a variety of diffe rent majors that require an understanding of the natu re of matter. The objective of th ese courses is to provide the stu- dent with a basic understanding or the laws of theories of chemistry such that the studenL will be able ( I) to explain the basic physical and chemical prop- erties of mauer in terms of its struc- ture, (2) to do quamitative problem solving, (3) to gain some level of pro- fici ency in laboratory methodology, and (4) to be acquain ted with bas ic resource material in chemist'1'· DEGREE PROGRAM A Barhelor of Srienre Degree in Physi- ral Srienre with a Chemist, )' Emphasis is offered. The requirements for thi s maj or arc give n under th e Phys ical Science Department. The Bi ochem- istry Program is given below. MINOR A Chnnist ,y Minor requires the com- pletion or the fo ll o11~ ng courses: Chem- isu-y I 05, I06, 30 I, 302, 350 or 402, 403. Six distinct chemistry minor uni ts apart from any other major or minor.
