• CHEM 321: Advanced Synthesis Laboratory (1 Unit)

• OR

• CHEM 327: Advanced Physical and Analytical Chemistry Laboratory (1 Unit)

•  

• CHEM 323: Advanced Laboratory: Biochemistry (1 Unit)
• CHEM 337: Biochemistry (1 Unit)

Required Cognate Courses (4 Units)

• BIOL 300: Genetics (1 Unit)

Note

All chemistry courses required for the major must be taken for a numerical grade, except those offered only on a credit/no credit basis. Students who intend to apply for entrance into medical or dental schools should not take basic chemistry courses on a credit/no credit basis, and students majoring in other sciences are strongly discouraged from doing so.

The department expects that chemistry and biochemistry majors will complete the CHEM 206  requirement no later than the end of the junior year because this course is a prerequisite for the Advanced Laboratory series.
