The biochemistry minor allows students to engage in interdisciplinary study of biochemistry to complement their major plans of study.
Complete all courses listed below unless otherwise indicated. Also complete any corequisite labs, recitations, clinicals, or tools courses where specified.
The biochemistry minor is not available to majors in biology, cell and molecular biology, biochemistry, or any combined major that involves biochemistry, due to curricular overlap.
