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. The following courses are prerequisites for the minor: BIOL 130/131
and 140/141; CHEM 151/161, 152/162, 207/217, and 208/218.
