Biochemistry Major

College Majors
1

<p>so my original plan going into college was to major in biochemistry, but my school didn't offer the program so i decided to major in biology instead. I recently found out that my school's chemistry department offers a degree option called chemistry with biological emphasis. I'm considering switching, but I'm just wondering if the required courses for this program are the same as a normal biochemistry program.
The courses required are:</p>

<p>Biology:
Cell Biology
Genetics
2 additional upper division biology electives</p>

<p>Chemistry:
General Chemistry 1&2 w/labs
Organic Chemistry 1&2 w/labs
Biological Chemistry 1&2 w/labs
Physical Chemistry 1 and either Physical Chemistry 2 or Biophyscal Chemistry
Quantitative Analysis
Inorganic Chemistry
2 Advanced labs in 2 of the 4 core areas of chemistry (A,I,O, or P)</p>

<p>Physics:
Physics for Scientists and Engineers 1&2 w/labs</p>

<p>Math:
Calculus 1,2,&3</p>

<p>Is this what a normal biochemistry program looks like? It seems like it doesn't have enough biology, but I don't really know.</p>

<p>If it makes any difference I want to study genetics in graduate school.</p>

<p>Yeah this is basically what my degree plan was when I was a biochem major.
Except that we took bio chem i and II.</p>

<p>here is a degree plan online:</p>

<p>I think biological chemistry is biochem...</p>

<p>Thats pretty much my curriculum right there. Except we're required to take Biophysical Chemistry</p>

<p>We also have to take analytical chemistry, and a programming class</p>
