The Program in the Freshman and
Sophomore Years THE
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology major does not diverge from the
general Biological Sciences major prior to the end of the second year. Students
interested in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology should normally enter
UCI as Biological Sciences majors and follow the basic Biological
Sciences program during the first two years. Thus, prospective majors
should take 94, 96, and freshman seminar in their first year along with
Chemistry 1A-B-C and the associated labs, Chemistry 1LB-LC and the
Humanities Core or one of the aternatives approved for the Biological
Sciences major. This
should be followed in the second year with Bio 97, 98, and 99 and the
introductory Bio lab, 100LW, together with organic chemistry (Chem 51
A-B-C and associated labs Chem 51LA-LB) and calculus/statistics (Math
2A-B and third quarter Math 2D or Math 7). |
