Chemistry Concentrations Biochemistry. Beyond BIOS 1083/1081 and 2114, three semester hours of biology must be taken from BIOS 3453, 4153, 4334, 4490 (requires prior approval), or 4713; six semester hours of biochemistry must be taken (CHEM 4510/BIOS 4103 and CHEM 4511/BIOS 4113); and BIOS 4114 must be taken. Research in biochemistry culminating in a comprehensive written report is highly recommended. Chemical Physics. Requires CHEM 4028, 4310, 4311, and six credit hours in physics beyond the first year level. Forensics. Requires CHEM 1015, 3110, 4110, 4030; MATH 2314; POLI 2450; SOSC 2052. An internship in forensics is highly recommended (if used to receive internship credit, CHEM 3096 may satisfy the CHEM 3094 requirement). BIOS 3453 and 4114 are recommended for students interested in DNA analysis. Materials. Requires CHEM 3027, 3610, 4410. Medicinal Chemistry: Requires CHEM 3027, 4210, 4510, and BIOS 4114. Additional recommended courses include CHEM 4511, computer science courses leading to bioinformatics (CSCI 4567), and Toxicology (offered as EES 4096). Minor in Chemistry An undergraduate minor in chemistry may be obtained by completing 22 credit hours in chemistry with a grade of C or better in each course. Fourteen of the hours shall be at the 2000-level or higher. Neither CHEM 3094, 3096, nor 3099 can be used to satisfy these requirements. Either CHEM 1028, or CHEM 1007 and CHEM 1008 or their equivalents can be used for a minor. At least nine hours must be completed at UNO. 4
