Biochemistry is the study of the chem islly of liuing systems. This interdisciplinmy program draws upon biowgy and chemislly. OBJECTIVES The major is designed especially for tJ1ose students planning a career in the health professions. The require ments for schools of medicine, phar macy, dentisuy and medical technology are met within this major. Th is pro gram also prepares one fo r graduate school in a variety of bioscience pro grams. There are excellent opportuni ties for careers in biotechnical , pharma ceu ti cal and environmen tal related businesses and governmental agencies. DEGREE PROGRAM A Bachelor of Science degree in Bio chemist1y is offered upon completion of the university baccalaureate and major requirements. The biochemisuy major requires the compl et ion of 64 units consisting of the fo llowing: Chemistiy I05, I 06, 30 I, 302, 350; Biology 111 , 112,281,282,312, 322 or 422, 411, 412; Math I 05; Physics 111, 11 2 ( or 132, 233), 460 or Biology 470. Nole: The general education requirement for mathematics and science is met within this major. The Joreign language require ment is met /Jy two years in high school or four units ofcollegeforeign language. COURSES (Chemistry and Biochemistry) 90 Basic Chemistry (2) Designed to prepare students for taking Chemisuy 105 or 11 2. Includes: unit convers ion s, chem ica l formulas, nomenclature, equations of reactions, stoich iomeuy, solutions, gas law and acid ity. Two hours lecture. No unit credit toward graduation requirements. 100 The Material World (3) The basic principles of chemistry for the non-science major. Uses materials of modern soc iety as a th eme for exploring the properties and structure of matter as we ll as the methods and consequences of transforming natural resources to consumer products. 105 General Chemistry I (4) Principles and theories of the struc ture and properties of matter includ ing atomic tJ1eory, stoichemisuy, mol ecular structure, bonding and stale of matter. Prerequisite: high schoo l chemistiy and math SAT greater than 550 or passing grade on Chem istry Placement Exam or Chem istry 90 . Fall semester on ly. Lab fee: $40.
350 Analytical Chemistry (5) Asun,ey of classical chemical methods of analysis such as titrimetric and gravi metric along with various instrumental methods includ ing electrochemical , spectroscopic and chromatographic. Three hours lecture, six hours labora to1y. Prerequisite: 301. Lab fee: $60. 411 , 412 Biochemistry I, II (3 ,3) Fundamental concepts of metabolism, bioenergetics, biosynthesis and other chem istry of life processes. Three hours lecture. Prerequisite: 302. 420 Special Topics in Chemistry (3) Shon subj ects in such areas as the chemical literature, various instrumen tal methods, polymers, organometallics and industrial chemisuy. Prerequisite: deparunen tal approval. 422 Laboratory in Biochemistry (2) An integrated laboratory course to accompany 41 1. Modern techniques in molecular ge netics , metabo li c processes, bioenergetics and enzyme mechanisms. Six hours laboratory. One hour discussion/ quiz. Prerequi site: Biology 312 and Chemisuy 411. Alternate years. Lab fee: $60. 480 Special Project in Chemistry (1-3) Research or industrial internship. Require a written report. Prerequi site: departmental approva l.
While primarily providing service courses for other programs, the depart ment does offer two programs with chemistry as the major component. These are Biochemistry and Physical Science with a chemisuy emphasis. Since chem istry is the study of matter and the changes it undergoes, .!!J
sequences of courses are designed to meet the needs of students as th ey prepa re for a variety of different majors that require an understanding of the nature of matter. The objective of these courses is to provide the stu dent with a basic understanding of the laws of theories of chemisuy such that the student wi ll be able (I) to explain the basic physical and chemical prop erties of matter in terms of its struc ture, (2) to do quantitative problem solving, (3) to gain some level of pro ficiency in laboratory methodology, and ( 4) to be acqua inted with basic resource material in chemist1y. DEGREE PROGRAM A Bachelor of Science Degree in Physi cal Science with a Chemist1y E11,f1hasis is offered. The requirements for this major are given under the Physical Science Department. The Bi ochem ist1y Program is given below. MINOR A Chemistry Minor requires the com pletion of the fo llowing courses: Chem isuy I 05, 106, 30 I, 302, 350. Six distinct chemisuy minor units apart from any other major or minor.
