Notes
1) You are only allowed one D grade in your Chem/Biochem lecture courses. The rest must be C or better.
2) We are currently not offering the Biochem II lab, and this can be substituted by one of the following:
Mol Bio lab; Genetics lab; Gen Phys lab; Research credit; something else PRIOR approved by the Chair.
3) A typical sequence of classes is:
Fall Freshman year:
Chemical principles I (with lab)
Unified Calculus I
General Biology I (with lab)
Spring Freshman year:
Chemical principles II (with lab)
Unified Calculus II
General Biology II (with lab)
Fall Sophomore year:
Organic Chemistry I (with lab)
Unified Calculus III**
Physics I (with lab)
Spring Sophomore year:
Organic Chemistry II (with lab)
Physics II (with lab)
Fall Junior Year:
Physical Chemistry I (with lab)
General Biochemistry I (with lab)
Spring Junior Year:
Physical Chemistry II (with lab)
Fall Senior Year:
Chemistry Seminar / Exit Exam
Molecular Biology (with lab)
Biology/Chemistry elective
Spring Senior Year:
