The Departments of Biology and Chemistry offer a joint minor in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry. This minor will be beneficial to students interested in careers in medicine, dentistry and other health science fields as well as those who wish to pursue careers in the chemical and biochemical industry. Active learning exercises, use of scientific literature, computer modeling, inquiry-based laboratories and research are important components of the courses in the sequence. Requirements for the minor vary slightly depending on the student’s major. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The following courses are prerequisites for the minor: BIOL 130\/131 and 140\/14 1; CHEM 151\/161, 152\/162, 207\/217, and 208\/218.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
