Biochemistry Minor

A student may complete a minor in biochemistry by finishing the following course work with grades of “C” or better. (A student pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in chemistry may not obtain a minor in biochemistry.)

Note: Students should familiarize themselves with the prerequisite requirements for these courses. Students pursuing a BS in biology must select courses that are not part of their degree program requirements in order to complete a biochemistry minor.
