The Chemistry and Biochemistry Program is flexible enough to allow a student to prepare for graduate study in chemistry, professional schools (such as medical or law), or employment in the public or private sector.
Planning Your Courses
Before moderating in the program, students should complete (or be enrolled in) Chemistry 141-142 and 201-202, Mathematics 141 and 142, and Physics 141. Students are expected to follow the standard divisional procedure for Moderation and fulfill the college-wide distribution and First-Year Seminar requirements. To graduate, students must successfully complete Chemistry 311, 312, 350, and 360; one elective at the 400-level; and the Senior Project. Students interested in pursuing the biochemistry track must complete the core courses noted above, Chemistry 390 (Biochemistry), two biology laboratory electives, and the Senior Project.
Second Focus Requirements
Students who wish to pursue a second focus in Chemistry and Biochemistry must complete Chemistry 141-142 and 201-202; and at least two of the following 300-level courses: Chemistry 350, 360, 311, 312, or 390, with at least one of them being Chemistry 350 or 360.
