Grading. Students concentrating in biological chemistry must receive
letter grades in all courses meeting the requirements of the degree program.
Honors Program. Students in the biological chemistry program may be
invited, on the basis of their academic performance, to participate in experimental
or theoretical research (Biological Chemistry 299) under the sponsorship
of a faculty member in the Department of Chemistry or the Department of
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Students usually begin this research
program during the summer following their third year; however, superior
students may be invited by the program adviser to participate in research
earlier in their course of study. Students in this program must receive
approval from the program adviser before the end of their third year. The
B.S. with special honors in biological chemistry will be awarded to students
with an overall grade point average of 3.0 or better who have submitted
a creditable honors paper describing their research. The honors paper should
be submitted about one month before graduation. This paper must be approved
by the program adviser and the College.
For a list of faculty, see the section on the Department of Chemistry and
consult the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
