A major in biological chemistry must include the cell and molecular biology
courses in list I below plus three elective courses from list V below. In addition,
the major must include all the chemistry, physics, and mathematics courses listed
in lists II, III, and IV below. An appropriate six-credit special project such as
CELL 495, 496 or CHEM 401, 402, or honor's thesis project (CELL or CHEM
H499-H500), integrating the student's biological and chemical studies, is also
required (This satisfies the capstone requirement). Because of the interdisciplinary
