Seminar Requirement:


Biochemistry students must complete four semesters of either biology seminar (BIOL 5950 and BIOL 5951) or chemistry seminar (CHEM 5950 and CHEM 5951).

Independent Research Project Requirement:


Students may choose to enroll in one of the following:

  • BIOC 5970 - Independent Study
  • BIOC 4010 - Collaborative Research
  • BIOL 5700 - Research in Biology
  • CHEM 5960 - Chemistry Research

Written documentation of an appropriate independent research project from the program directors may also be substituted.

Note


BIOC, BIOL, and CHEM courses listed above count as inside the major and do not qualify for breadth of study. BIOL and CHEM courses taken as preparation or electives do count for breadth of study.
