Major/Program Footnotes:

1 A minimum grade of C- is required for these courses.

2  There are two sequences for mathematics:  MA 131, MA 231, ST 311 [ST 380], and a math/ST/CSC elective  OR MA 141, MA 241, and MA 242.  The three semester sequence (MA 141,241 and 242) is the prerequisite for PY 205 and 208 and for CH 431 and 433. This sequence is strongly recommended for those students who plan on graduate studies in Biochemistry and is required for honors in Biochemistry and the BS/MS program. If a student elects to start with MA 141, the sequence of 241 and 242 must be taken.   If a student elects to start with MA 131 and MA 231, the sequence of ST 311 [ST 380] and a math/ST/CSC elective must be taken.   ST 311 or ST 380 is not a substitute for MA 242.

3 The calculus based physics sequence (PY 205 and 208) is strongly recommended for those students who plan on graduate studies in Biochemistry and is required for honors in Biochemistry and the BS/MS program. If a student chooses PY 205, PY 208 must be taken. .

4 This course is an advised elective in the life sciences.  BIO 212 or BIO 250 is recommended for those students who are interested in applying to the health related professions. This requirement can also be satisfied by an advised elective from upper level life science courses.

5 If a student has chosen the Math sequence of MA 13l, MA 231, and ST 311, another course in computer science, mathematics or statistics must be chosen. Students who are planning to take the two semester Physical Chemistry sequence are encouraged to enroll in MA 341.

6  Students must select a minimum of two from these three courses: BCH 452, BCH 454 and a research elective.  Research elective must be at least 3 hours and may be selected from BCH 492, BCH 493, or ALS 499 (research option).   If BCH 452 and the research elective combination is chosen, BCH 454 can be used as the Laboratory Analysis elective. See footnote 9 below.

7  The two semester Physical Chemistry course sequence (CH 431 and 433) is strongly recommended for those students who plan on graduate studies in Biochemistry and is required for honors in Biochemistry and the BS/MS program.  If CH 431 is chosen, CH 433 must be taken. If CH 331 is chosen, a student must choose an advised elective from courses offered in either PAMS or CALS.

8 Cell Biology/Physiology electives include BIO 414, BIO 421, PB 414 and PB 421 .

9  Laboratory Analysis electives include BCH 454, BIT 4**, CH 315, CH 428, or any other course which focuses on laboratory analytical procedures for a minimum of three credit hours. This requirement cannot be fulfilled by a research elective. If a student chooses BCH 454 to fulfill this requirement, at least three credit hours of research elective experience must be taken in addition.  See footnote 6 above.
