*Completion of both MATH 141 & 142 may be substituted for         MATH 151.                 **With the permission of the chair, PHYS 101, 202 may be substituted       for PHYS 103, 204.       Recommended Coursework Outside the Major         Consult with a departmental adviser.                 Special Notes         Students graduating with a major in biochemistry must complete         52 hours in the required chemistry and biology courses with at least         a 2.0 in each course. Students majoring in biochemistry should plan on taking CHEM         425 and 426 during their junior year. They are also encouraged to         take BIOL 151, 152, 311 and 320 prior to Biochemistry 1: Lecture and Lab. Since both calculus and physics are prerequisites for CHEM 451, students         are encouraged to start the cognate sequences as soon as possible. Students may not double major in chemistry and biochemistry.
