Requirements for a B.S. in Biochemistry &
Molecular Biology SPECIFIC requirements
of the B.S. degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (excluding UCI
breadth requirements) are as follows (always check the current catalogue for
potential updates): All
University Requirements All
Biological Sciences School requirements in the Physical Sciences and
Humanities. Biological
Sciences Bio Core:94, 96,
97, 98, 99, 100L, 194S Two additional upper division courses selected from Bio 107 to 110, Bio 117 to 189, or Chemistry 128, 130 A-B-C, or 131 A-B-C Physical Sciences Chem 1A-B-C (or H2A-B-C), 1LB-LC,
51A-B-C/51LA-LB (or 52A-B-C/52LA-LB) Humanities Humanities 1A-B-C or its alternative,
the lower division writing requirement of the breadth requirements (Category
I) and an approved three-quarter series of courses in the humanities. A current
list of approved courses is kept in the Biological Sciences Student Affairs
Office. UCI breadth
requirements The major in
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology is designed to provide ample opportunity
for students to fulfill all breadth requirements needed for the B.S.
·
Humanities
Core (Humanities1A-B-C) or its alternative also satisfies the lower-division
writing requirement when two quarters are completed with a grade of C or
better. Completing Biological Sciences 100LW or other approved Bio Sci
writing courses with a grade of C or better satisfies the upper-division
writing requirement, which is also required for transfer students. ·
Required
courses in chemistry and physics satisfy Category II, Natural Sciences. Also,
Category V, Mathematics and Symbolic Systems, is satisfied by the completion
of the School mathematics requirement. ·
The
Category III, Social and Behavioral Sciences; Category VI, Language Other
Than English; and Category VII, Multicultural Studies and
International/Global Issues, requirements are normally satisfied by taking
courses totaling about 28 units. A Biochemistry & Molecular Biology major
who follows the recommended program in the first three years and who takes a
normal load of 16 units each quarter for the last two years will have 44
elective units with which to satisfy the UCI breadth requirement during the
last two years. |
