At least two 300-level courses are also required for the major. Additional chemistry beyond the two required units is strongly recommended or required for certain 300-level courses. Independent summer study does not count toward the minimum major. A broad training in the various aspects of biology is recommended. Four of the five courses for a minor must be taken at Wellesley.
Chemistry is recommended.
Students planning a minor should consult the Chair. Students interested in the interdepartmental major in Biological Chemistry are referred to the section of the Catalog where the program is described. They should consult with Ms. Wolfson, the Director of the Biological Chemistry program. Students interested in the interdepartmental major in Neuroscience are referred to the section of the Catalog where these programs are described. They should consult with Ms. Beltz, Director of the Neuroscience Program.
