9 courses with the subject BCHM, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
BCHM 200Independent Study Biohemistry1-4
Hour(s) Independent study under the guidance of a faculty advisor with permission from the department chair. Open to students with a 2.0 cumulative average. Independent study may take the form of readings, research, a conference, project and/or field experience. Independent study may be taken for a total of twelve semester hours, no more than six semester hours in any term.
Hour(s) This course will explore the relationship between diet and various diseases or health conditions. Students will learn how nutrients in our diet impact physical and mental health and how a healthy diet can reduce the risk of developing the disease. We will also explore nutrition recommendations for patients diagnosed with specific diseases. This course will explore the relationship between diet and various diseases or health conditions. Students will learn how nutrients in our diet impact physical and mental health and how a healthy diet can reduce the risk of developing the disease. We will also explore nutrition recommendations for patients diagnosed with specific diseases. Recommended: either NUTR 210 , CHEM 110 , BIOL 010 , BIOL 065 , or BIOL 100 . Cross-Listed with NUTR 225
Hour(s) An opportunity to use the knowledge and skills the student has learned in coursework to solve problems in an applied laboratory setting; the apprenticeship aspect of the internship implies that the student has some basic knowledge and will increase her knowledge and skills by direct contact with an experienced, knowledgeable mentor. Open to juniors and seniors with 2.0 overall cumulative average and in the major; maximum credit per term is four (4) semester hours; admission by application only. Course may be repeated a maximum of three (3) times.
Hour(s) Advanced independent study under the guidance of a faculty advisor. Normally open to juniors and seniors with a 3.5 average in chemistry. Subject to approval of the chair of the department. Honors work may be taken for a maximum of four semester hours per term.
Hour(s) Modern biochemistry with emphasis on structures, functions, and properties of biologically important molecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. Additionally, signal transduction and basic neurochemistry will be introduced. Three hours of lecture.
Hour(s) This biochemistry course focuses on energy conversion pathways and metabolic regulation. Topics include glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, the citrate cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, glycogenesis, glycogenolysis, beta-oxidation, lipid synthesis, amino acid metabolism, nucleotide metabolism, and metabolic integration. Four hours of lecture.
Hour(s) This laboratory course is required for biochemistry majors and covers common experimental techniques used in biochemistry. It includes protein extraction, purification, enzyme kinetics, and DNA analysis. The tools and techniques introduced in the lab include working with micropipettes, centrifugation, chromatography, electrophoresis, and UV/Vis spectroscopy. One lecture (virtual), and one 3-hour lab (in-person).
Hour(s) This course introduces thermodynamics, thermochemistry, electrochemistry (including neuron and neural firing), chemical equilibrium, and kinetics, with emphasis on energy changes and rate processes in chemical reactions in the biological system.
CHEM 201 and PHYS 210 and MATH 100 Cross-Listed with CHEM 311
BCHM 390Senior Seminar3
Hour(s) Discussion of special topics in chemistry and biochemistry with special emphasis on current research culminating in a research paper and oral presentation.
