The departments of Biology and Chemistry offer an interdisciplinary concentration in biochemistry/molecular biology (BMB). Prospective concentrators should elect both chemistry and biology in their first year. The concentration consists of 10 credits (and MATH-113 and MATH-116, or equivalent, as prerequisites for certain courses), including four courses in BMB, two courses in biology, three courses in chemistry, and one credit of elective course(s) from a list of selected courses provided below. BMB courses must include BICHM-270, BICHM-346, BICHM-550 and either BICHM-321 or BICHM-322. Biology courses must include BIO-100 and BIO-211. Chemistry courses must include CHEM-120, CHEM-190, and CHEM-255. MATH-113 and MATH-116, or equivalent, are prerequisites for BICHM-320, BICHM-321 and BICHM-322. The elective course must be chosen from BIO-200, BIO-202, BIO-205, BIO-212, BIO-221, BIO-234, BIO-263, BIO-330, BIO-331, BIO-334, BIO-336, BIO-355, BIO-357, BIO-429, BIO-443, BIO-454, CHEM-321, CHEM-322, CHEM-327, CHEM-329, CHEM-331, CHEM-360, CHEM-362, CHEM-364, or CHEM-365. BICHM-346 satisfies the SSIH requirement for BMB concentrators. BICHM-550 satisfies the Senior Thesis requirement. A complete description of the Senior Program is available from the departments. Honors in BMB will be based on excellence in coursework and on both Senior Thesis BICHM-550 and BICHM-551.
