化学理学学士-化学生物学

Rensselaer的化学和化学生物学系在教育创新和卓越的实验室教学方面有着悠久的历史。除了重点关注传统化学领域外，我们还提供有关现代科学快速发展领域的课程和研究计划，包括生物化学，生物物理学和生物技术，材料和高分子化学以及药物化学。化学解决生物学问题。通往化学理学学士学位的“化学生物学”专为对这一领域或医学领域的职业感兴趣的学生而设计。就像“化学”学科一样，它提供了扎实的化学背景，而且还包括生物学课程的坚实核心，因此完成该课程的学生不仅将具有化学知识以了解他们所使用的方法，而且还将具有该知识。生物学，以
The Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Rensselaer has a long history of innovation in education and for excellence in laboratory instruction. In addition to a strong focus in the traditional areas of chemistry we offer courses and research programs in the rapidly developing frontiers of modern science, including biochemistry, biophysics and biotechnology, materials and polymer chemistry, and medicinal chemistry.Chemical Biology refers to the application of Chemistry to biological problems. The ''Chemical Biology'' track to the B.S. in Chemistry is intended for students interested in this area or in careers in the medical field. Like the ''Chemistry'' track, it provides a sound background in Chemistry but also includes a solid core of Biology courses so that students completing it will not only have the chemical knowledge to understand the methods they are using, but also will have the knowledge of Biology necessary to understand the systems they intend to study. Both tracks require 128 credit hours for graduation. In the Chemical Biology track, 21 of these are completely free electives. Participation in undergraduate research is stongly encouraged, and CHEM 4010 Inorganic Chemistry II is a recommended but not required elective. Students considering medical school should include a semester of General Psychology and a semester of Sociology among their HASS or elective courses.
