Chemi st ry
Biochemistry Biochemistry is the study of the chemistry of living systems. This interdisciplinary program draws upon biology and chemistry. Objectives The major is designed especially for those students planning a career in the health professions The requirements for schools of medicine, pharmacy, dentistry and medical technology are met within this ma jor. This program also prepares one for graduate school in a variety of bioscience prog rams.There are excellent opportunities for careers in biotechnical, pharmaceutical and environmental related businesses and governmental agencies. Degree Program A Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry is offered upon com pletion of the university baccalaureate and major requirements. The biochemistry major consists of 61 units of chemistry, biology, physics and math courses. Required lower division (28 units) are: Chemistry 105, 106; Biology 111, 112; Physics 111, 112 or 132, 233; Math 105. Required upper division (25 units) are: Chemistry 301, 302, 311, 312, 350, 422 A. 422 B; Biology 312, 411, 412; Physical Science 460 (or Biol ogy 470) Electives (8 units, of which 4 must be upper division) to be chosen from: Chemist ry 420, 480; Biology 281, 282, 311, 322, 342, 402, 431; Physics 234,321,450. Note: The general education requirement for mathematics and science is met within this major. The foreign language requirement is met by two years in high school or four units of college foreign language.

These are Biochemistry and Physical Science with a chemistry emphasis. Since chemistry is the study of matter and the changes it under goes, sequences of courses are designed to meet the needs of students as they prepare for a variety of different majors that require an understanding of the nature of matter. The 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 (1) to explain the basic physical and chemical properties of matter in terms of its structure, (2) to do quantitative problem solving, (3) to gain some level of proficiency in laboratory methodology, and (4) to be acquainted with basic resou rce material in chemistry. Deg ree Program A Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Science with a Chemistry emphasis is offered. The requirements for this major are given under the Physical Science Department. The Biochemistry Program is given below. M inor A Chemistry Minor requires the completion of 21 units, including the following courses: Chemistry 105, 106,301,302,311,312, and either 350 or 411, 422 A, 422 B. Six distinct chemistry minor units apart from any other major or minor.
