CERUTTI, P. A., Chairman; ALLEN, C. M., JR.; BOYCE, R. P.; CHUN, P. W.;
COHEN, R. J.; FISHER, W. R.; FRIED, M.; GABBAY, E. J.; GURIN, S.; LARKIN,
A. R.; NEWCOMB, T. F.; O'BRIEN, T. W.; ROBERTS, R. M.; RENNERT, O. M.;

Graduate Coordinator: M. FRIED
 Prerequisites: Since biochemistry is a multidisciplinary field, the under-
graduate major may be in related biological and physical sciences. Required
courses include general, organic, quantitative, and physical chemistry and at
least 8 credits in physics and in biology. Calculus is recommended. Pre-
baccalaureate courses in biochemistry are not accredited for the graduate pro-
gram. Any deficiency in the prerequisites must be satisfied as soon as possible
after entering Graduate School.
 Doctoral candidates are required to take a core of biochemistry courses
which include BCH 601, BCH 602, BCH 603, BCH 615, BCH 616, and BCH
617. Depending upon the interests and background of the student, additional
courses are recommended from the following list: BCH 578, BCH 605, BCH
612, BCH 613, BCH 614, and BCH 618. The course of graduate study for
doctoral candidates also includes advanced organic and physical chemistry,
physiology, microbiology, and genetics.
