Students who complete the Biochemistry Honors Program will be awarded a degree “with honors in Biochemistry.” Biochemistry majors, typically in their junior year, will be designated honors candidates if the following conditions are met:
- completion of BIO 101 , BIO 102 , BIO 212 , BIO 211 , CHM 113 (or First-Year Seminar equivalency), CHM 221 , CHM 222 , CHM 244 , MTH 125 , MTH 126 , PHY 101 , and PHY 102 ;
- an overall grade-point average of at least 3.4; and
- a science (Biochemistry, Biology and Chemistry) grade-point average of at least 3.4.
To successfully complete the Biochemistry Honors Program, a student must subsequently:
- maintain the above overall and science grade-point averages; and
- conduct research approved by the Program Director; and earn at least a “B+” on both the thesis and thesis defense required for BCH 449 - Biochemistry Seminar and Thesis . Ordinarily, this thesis will be based on thesis research, internship, S.U.R.E. project, or other college-level research experience; however, an in-depth library research thesis is acceptable.
Contact the Biochemistry Program Director for additional details and deadlines.
