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.
