Minor in Biochemistry

Students must have a minimum GPA of 2.0 calculated from all courses used to fulfill minor requirements and a minimum grade of C- in each of those courses.

All courses are 3 credit hours, unless otherwise designated.

Course Requirements (16 cr.)

At least 2 courses (6 credit hours) must be taken at IU South Bend.

• BIOL-L 102 Introduction to Biological Sciences 2 (5 cr.)
• BIOL-L 211 Molecular Biology
• CHEM-C 484 Biomolecules and Catabolism
• CHEM-C 485 Biosynthetic Pathways and Control of Metabolism
• CHEM-C 486 Biological Chemistry Laboratory (2 cr.)

If any course above is counted toward a major in the department that offers that course then that course cannot be counted toward this minor. Appropriate course substitutions are given below.

For chemistry majors, an appropriate course substitution for CHEM-C 484 Biomolecules and Catabolism would include:

• BIOL-L 311 Genetics
• BIOL-L 312 Cell Biology
• BIOL-L 317 Developmental Biology
• BIOL-L 323 Molecular Biology Laboratory

For biology majors, appropriate course substitutions for BIOL-L 102 Introduction to Biological Sciences 2 and BIOL-L 211 Molecular Biology would include:

• CHEM-C 341 Organic Chemistry Lectures 1
• CHEM-C 342 Organic Chemistry Lectures 2
• CHEM-C 343 Organic Chemistry Laboratory 1 (2 cr.)
