Students are provided the opportunity to do individual library, special project or laboratory research under the direction of a member of the faculty which culminates in a term paper. A GPA of 2.5 in chemistry courses is required. Approval of Department Undergraduate Research Supervisor required prior to registration.
1-4 cr./sem.
Special topics not covered in the usual department offerings. Topics will vary from semester to semester depending on student and instructor interest.
Credits
Determined by instructor
Credits and hours to be determined by instructor and department with a maximum of 4 cr. per course.
This is the first semester of a two-semester Biochemistry course sequence. The course covers the cellular biochemistry of amino acids, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and nucleic acids, in depth.
Grade of C or higher in
CHEM 26100 or placement by the department. Grade of C or better in Bio 10100 (Biological Foundations I).
3 hr./wk.
Chromatography, electrophoresis, spectroscopy, and other quantitative laboratory techniques will be applied to the isolation and analysis of amino acids, proteins, enzymes, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids.
Grade of C or better in
CHEM 26300 or placement by the department.
