PROGRAM OF EMPHASIS

Department: Chemistry

Title: Biochemistry (starting with the entering class of 2007)


A designated POE for biochemistry requires replacing certain chemistry courses in the Chemistry POE with selected biology courses. Its structure is based on recommendations prepared by the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.

*Could be postponed a year
Note: Biochemistry and related subjects can be studied at the Catholic University in Lille, France,  or at the Philipps University in Marburg, Germany.
Study of a language can replace CA and IC by completing language study beyond the 210 level and at least 1 semester abroad in the target language.  Summer language programs can help to provide the necessary language training. Calculus I and II might be taken in summer school to provide an opportunity for language preparation.  Alternatively, language might be studied abroad during the summers prior to the junior year.
**Could be postponed a year.
