In addition to the required core courses, the Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry (MBB) offers two course options to students to fulfill the requirements for the major. Students who are interested in biophysical questions and research are strongly encouraged to take course option one, which requires Physical Chemistry and Multivariable Calculus to fulfill the requirements for the MBB major. MBB students considering a minor in chemistry are encouraged to take the physical chemistry courses as they will fulfill the minor requirements. Course option two is intended to expose MBB students to different current topics in molecular biology and biochemistry.
Course Option One (13 credits)
01:160:341-342 Physical Chemistry: Biochemical Systems (3,3) or 01:160:323-324 Physical Chemistry (3,3) (requires 01:640:251 as a prerequisite)
01:640:251 Multivariable Calculus (4)
One 3-credit course offered by the MBB department from the following list: 01:694:411; 01:694:412; 01:694:413; 01:694:420/421; 01:694:492
Course Option Two (9 credits)
Two 3-credit courses offered by the
MBB department from the following list: 01:694:230; 1:694:411; 01:694:412; 01:694:413; 01:694:420/421; 01:694:492
One 400-level, 3-credit elective course offered by any department in the Division of Life Sciences or approved by the
MBB department
Electives
Because the list of approved electives is changing, students should discuss their elective options directly with their departmental faculty advisers. A list of currently approved electives can be found on the
MBB department website. In addition to the undergraduate courses listed, advanced students are encouraged to choose electives from the School of Graduate Studies.
