This document is a flowchart designed to help students visualize their progression through the courses required for the BMB major. It includes:
Foundational Courses (in green)
- Bio 151
- Bio 152 & 153
- Chem 111/121H
- Chem 112/122H
- Math 127/131
- Math 128/132
Core Courses (in blue)
- Biochem 285
- Chem 261
- Chem 262
- Chem 269
- Stats 240/Math 233
- Physics 131/151
- Physics 132/152
Upper-Level Courses (in red)
- Biochem 311
- Biochem 376
- Biochem 394RI
- Biochem 423
- Biochem/Chem 471
Senior Courses (in purple)
- Biochem 424
- Biochem 426
- Biochem 430H
Students must complete Bio 151, Bio 152, and Bio 153 before enrolling in Biochem 285 and Biochem 311. Biochem 285 also requires completion of Chem 111/121H and Chem 112/122H in order to enroll.
Once students complete Biochem 285, they will be eligible to enroll in Biochem 376, Biochem 394RI, and Biochem 423. Biochem 423 also requires completion of Chem 261 and Chem 262, which can be taken after Chem 112/122H. Students are also required to take Chem 269 after completing Chem 262.
Once students complete Biochem 423, they will be eligible to enroll in Biochem 424, Biochem 426, and Biochem 430H. Biochem 426 also requires completion of Biochem 376 in order to enroll.
Students must complete Math 127/131 and Math 128/132 before enrolling in Stats 240/Math 233, Physics 131/151, and Physics 132/152. Once students complete Math 128/132, Physics 132/152, and Chem 112/122H, they will be eligible to take Biochem/Chem 471.
