学术要求
The 生物化学 和 分子生物学 major requires six courses in biology, six courses in chemistry, two-course sequences in introductory physics 和 calculus, the biology junior seminar, the chemistry senior seminar, 和 the BMB senior capstone experience, for a total of 70 credits.
Requirements for the BMB Major
The 生物化学 和 分子生物学 program offers a major that culminates in a Bachelor of Science (B.S.)学位. This interdisciplinary major provides a comprehensive education at the interface between biology 和 chemistry that nurtures students to become independent scientists in this rapidly advancing 和 exciting field. 鉴于 the interdisciplinary nature of the discipline, there is not a BMB minor 和 students may not major in BMB 和 minor in biology or chemistry.

推荐 First 和 Second Year Courses
鉴于 the interdisciplinary nature of the BMB major, students are encouraged to begin their study of biology 和 chemistry as soon as possible. 推荐 first 和 second year courses for the BMB major are listed below; however, students have some flexibility in how they sequence their coursework depending on when they decide to embark on the BMB major 和 other academic interests. 例如, 格瓦拉于120年 Chemical Principles of Organic Molecules is offered every semester, so students may begin their study of chemistry at any time. Students may also delay the start of their mathematics 和/or physics sequences; however, it is important to keep in mind that MAT 202 和 PHY 102/112 are prerequisites for 切 305 和 切 306, one of which is required for the BMB major.
