A major in Biological Chemistry must include the cell and molecular biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics courses in the lists under Requirements. At least two elective courses, selected from Requirements list, also must be included. In addition, an appropriate six-credit special project integrating the student’s biological and chemical studies is required.

Because of the interdisciplinary nature of the Biological Chemistry major, students in this program may not minor in chemistry, cell and molecular biology, or ecology and evolutionary biology.

Students pursuing this bachelor’s degree must earn a minimum of 30 credit hours in the Newcomb-Tulane College core curriculum, 120 credit hours in their degree and a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.000. More information on degree and core curriculum requirements can be found here.

See Recommended Plan of Study below.
