Biology 372: Developmental Biology |
Biology 364: Molecular Biology |
Chemistry 385: Biochemistry II |

Other 300-level courses by BmolS committee review. Courses in areas such as: Molecular Evolution Pharmacology |
3) Experiential Learning Component
Each concentrator must take part in an experimentally based research experience or employment that takes biomolecular sciences beyond the traditional classroom. This can occur either on or off campus. This should be pre-approved by the BmolS Steering Committee and supported after the fact by a letter from a supervisor.
