Knowledge derived from the disciplines of chemistry, physics, and biology is used to understand the processes that operate in cells and organisms, including their metabolism and regulation. Biochemistry attempts to understand the uniqueness of complex evolving living systems; how living organisms harvest energy from their environment to produce and maintain their complexity; and how these structures replicate themselves. The knowledge garnered from biochemical research has been applied to solve problems in areas ranging from agriculture to medicine. Specific areas of biochemistry include principles of protein structure (amino acid chemistry, peptide and protein structure and protein folding), enzymes (mechanisms, enzyme kinetics and inhibition), nucleic acids (nucleotides and nucleic acid chemistry, DNA sequencing, protein and genetic engineering) and metabolism (carbohydrate structure, glucose catabolism, citric acid cycle).<\/p>\n<p>A bachelor&#8217;s degree in biochemistry provides the essential background and training that can open a variety of career pathways for students upon graduation. The biochemistry major is excellent preparation for professional studies in the health sciences; for secondary school teaching in the biological and physical sciences; for research in the pharmaceutical and chemical industry; for technical writing, sales, and service; and as the basis for graduate studies. The combination of chemistry, molecular biology, enzymology, and genetic engineering found in biochemistry provides the foundation to contribute to the rapidly expanding field of biotechnology.<\/p>\n<p>Biochemistry students taking both Advanced Inorganic Chemistry Lecture &amp; Lab (CHEM 443) and Biochemistry II Lecture (CHEM 446) can be certified by the American Chemical Society.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of their studies at Ramapo, graduating Biochemistry majors should:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>have\u00a0a general knowledge of the basic area of biochemistry and\u00a0have the ability to apply it in a problem-solving environment;\u00a0be proficient in basic chemical, biochemical, and physical\u00a0laboratory skills<\/li>\n<li>have conducted a research project as part of an upper level course\u00a0or as a participant in active, individual laboratory research\u00a0within the college or appropriate cooperative education\u00a0assignment<\/li>\n<li>have\u00a0the ability to communicate scientific information clearly\u00a0and precisely, both orally and in writing<\/li>\n<li>have\u00a0an understanding of the principles and applications of modern\u00a0instrumentation, computation, experimental design, and data\u00a0analysis<\/li>\n<li>have\u00a0the ability to formulate and carry out strategies for solving\u00a0scientific problems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ramapo has modern laboratories for chemistry, biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and physics that are utilized in the major. There are opportunities for students to do research with faculty and for experiential learning through cooperative education in nearby industry. The program is supported by computer labs that are available for student use to supplement the instruction in the lecture and laboratories. The major in Biochemistry is offered by the School of Theoretical and Applied Science and leads to a B.S. degree.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"collapsableContent\" tabindex=\"0\" type=\"button\"><div class=\"collapsableTitle\">Requirements of the Major<\/div>\n<ol>\n<li>Transfer students who have 48 or more credits accepted at the time of transfer are waived from the courses marked with a <strong><strong>(W)<\/strong> <\/strong> below.\u00a0 Waivers only apply to General Education Requirements NOT School Core or Major Requirements.<\/li>\n<li>Double counting between General Education, School Core, and Major may be possible.\u00a0 Check with your advisor to see if any apply.<\/li>\n<li>Writing Intensive Requirement: Three writing intensive courses in the general education curriculum are required: First Year Seminar, Critical Reading and Writing (formerly College English), and READINGS IN THE HUMANITIES.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div class=\"courseTable\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"majorTableHeading\">Subject &amp; Course # &#8211; Title &amp; Course Description<\/li>\n<li class=\"majorTableSubHeading\">GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS<\/li>\n<li><a id=\"69e2bcde6c47f\" href=\"https:\/\/catalog.ramapo.edu\/courses\/INTD101\" target=\"_blank\">INTD 101 -
