Overview

The Cellular and Molecular Biochemistry courses at University of Texas El Paso incorporated into this program are divided into four areas including general education courses (48 credit hours), major core courses (44 credit hours), required chemistry courses (23 credit hours), and elective courses in specialized areas (5 credit hours). Various courses offered in the major core courses are unique to this program.

Learning outcomes

These courses include a cellular biochemistry lab, a new biochemistry lecture course, and a seminar course focusing on advanced research techniques in biochemistry. The cellular and molecular biochemistry degree plan will differ from those degrees currently offered within the Department of Biological Sciences primarily through a focus on research theory and practice in biochemistry.Existing courses chosen for this degree plan are aimed at providing a broad general knowledge base in the biomedical sciences. The proposed new courses will focus on the research methodologies and the applications required to solve scientific problems relevant to human disease. It is important to point out that the proposed degree plan is designed in such a way that students will have the freedom and the background to choose majors in biology, microbiology, chemistry, or biochemistry after their first two years of study. In addition, students pursuing this degree option will be well prepared for the medical professions.
