Bachelor of Science in BIOCHEMISTRY Following is the typical pattern for completing the requirements for the major in Biochemistry in 4 years. Courses do not always have to follow this exact pattern, but variations from it should be planned carefully with your faculty advisor. You should also review your degree audit to assure that you take all courses required for your major. This degree plan has 79 hours of major courses (128 hours total*). If you have questions, please check with your faculty advisor or department chair. FRESHMAN YEAR FALL (17 HOURS) BIBL-1112 BIOL-1115 CHEM-1115 GNSC-1711 MATH-2114

*A minimum of 128 total hours is needed which includes major and core courses, to complete the Biochemistry degree in 4 years. 1

These courses are offered every other year. Therefore, as you enroll for your freshman year, you should plan your schedule for your remaining years, making certain that you include these courses in your schedule in the semester in which they are available. For example, in your junior year if CHEM-3114 is not offered, take CHEM-3114 in your senior year.
