BCMB may be combined with Biology or Chemistry for HBU’s dual major.This major incorporates the training needed for students to compete for spaces inmedical school, dental school and graduate programs in the biological and biochemicalsciences, in addition to entry-level employment in biomedical researchat academic institutions and in the biotechnology industry.CreditsSmith College (see page 85) 56Must include: MATH 2434 Calculus IMust include: CHEM 2415 General Chemistry IMust include: CHEM 2416 General Chemistry IIInterdisciplinary Requirements 35/36CHEM 3121 Organic Chemistry LaboratoryCHEM 3313 Organic Chemistry ICHEM 3333 Organic Chemistry IICHEM 4373 BiochemistryPHYS 2413 Physics IPHYS 2423 Physics IIBCMB 4211 Bioanalytical MethodsMinimum of 11 semester hours of advanced BCMB electivesNo more than 4 hrs. of BCMB 4292 may count in BCMB majorSenior Seminars 4BCMB 429_ Senior Seminar (selected from BCMB 4292, 4294, 4295,4296)BCMB 429_ Senior Seminar (selected from BCMB 4292, 4294, 4295,4296)Notes:The biochemistry-molecular biology major is available only tostudents whose second major is either biology or chemistry.College of Science and Mathematics / 209SCIENCE/MATH
