Biochemistry Minor
Biochemistry minors complete an integrated, rigorous program that includes foundational course work in general, organic and biochemistry. Undergraduates may also benefit from taking upper division courses in materials, computational chemistry, molecular biology, and modern instrumental techniques. A unique strength of our program is the opportunity for undergraduates to participate in the activities of a dynamic research group that considers problems extending well beyond textbook instruction.

Students who transfer CH 227Z/228Z/229Z credits from other schools may have the corresponding CH 217/218/219 course and credit requirements waived.
Other courses may be submitted for consideration and approval by the department. At least 12 credits for the biochemistry minor must be completed at the University of Oregon. All courses applied to the minor must be completed with grades of C– or better. Credits earned in CH 407 Seminar: [Topic], CH 405 Reading and Conference: [Topic], and CH 409 Capstone may not be applied to required coursework for the biochemistry minor.
