Core Courses

Biochem 285 – Cellular & Molecular Biology  

• Prerequisites: Bio 151 and Bio 152 with a grade of C or better, and Chem 111 (or 121H) and Chem 112 (or 122H) with a grade of C- or better.
• This is the first Biochem course that BMB majors take.
• Bio 285 and Ansci 285 are equivalent courses, meaning they will also count toward the Biochem 285 requirement.
• A grade of B- or better is required to continue in the BMB major.

Organic Chemistry

  • Prerequisite: Chem 112 or Chem 122H with a grade of C- or better.
• Chem 262 – Organic Chemistry II
  • Prerequisite: Chem 261 or Chem 265 with a grade of C- or better.
• Chem 269 – Organic Chemistry Lab
  • Prerequisite: Chem 261 or Chem 265 with a grade of C- or better.
  • Can be taken concurrent with or after Chem 262.  

Students can take Chem 265, Chem 266, Chem 267, and Chem 268 with permission from the Chemistry Department.
