for the B.S. Degree in Chemistry (without concentrations).
In conjunction with the Department of Biochemistry in the Duke Medical Center, the Chemistry Department is pleased to offer the B.S. degree in Chemistry with Concentration in Biochemistry.

________________
*Majors who wish to earn a B.S. degree in chemistry
that is certified by the American Chemical Society must include Chem 165,
167L, 166, 168L, and 180L.
In conjunction with the Department of Pharmacology in the Duke Medical Center, the Chemistry Department offers the B.S. degree in Chemistry with a Concentration in Pharmacology. Certification of the Concentration is designated on the official transcript. (See page 15 for a worksheet version.)
Pharmacology is more than the study of the mode of action of drugs. It is a science which uses the basic concepts of biology and chemistry to determine how drugs affect the organism; it gives a unique perspective in understanding how cells, organ systems, and organisms function. Unlike other basic science fields, pharmacology combines many disciplines so that one can investigate systematically the mechanisms underlying a biological event--from the molecular level to the whole animal. Pharmacology also allows us to study how biological systems fail, providing information on the etiology of disease and on the mechanisms underlying toxic reactions. Pharmacologic research is essential for the development, testing and use of drugs and other bioactive molecules such as pesticides or industrial chemicals.
The objective of Pharmacology as an Area of Concentration for Chemistry Majors is to provide students with knowledge of the basic principles underlying the design and actions of drugs and toxic substances. In addition, it provides the opportunity to apply these principles in a research setting. Ultimately, an introduction of pharmacology to undergraduates will encourage interested students to consider graduate study in the fields of pharmacology and/or medicinal chemistry, leading to a career in academic research, in governmental regulatory agencies, or in industry.
This area of concentration requires that students take specific courses in biological sciences and chemistry in addition to pharmacology, and two semesters of research in Pharmacology. The required courses are Biology 25L (Principles of Biology) and Biochemistry 227 (Introductory Biochemistry) (or Chemistry 175), which will provide the necessary biological background for Chemistry majors to proceed with studies in Pharmacology. Pharmacology 150 deals with drug actions and reactions. Pharmacology 233, Essentials of Pharmacology and Toxicology, is an entry-level, graduate course that uses mathematical, chemical, and biochemical principles to describe the mechanism of chemical interactions with biological targets (organs, receptors, enzymes, genomic processes). Students will also spend 2 semesters of independent study. Mentors for independent study are chosen from a list of approved pharmacology faculty. Other recommended pharmacology courses include an introductory course on the general aspects of the mode of drug action, Pharmacology: a course on Drugs, Brain and Behavior (Pharmacology 160); and a course in Mammalian Toxicology (Pharmacology 254).
Prerequisites:
Chem 21L and 22L; or 23L; or 19;
Mathematics 31, 32 (or 31L, 32L or 41); Physics 51L, 52L (or 53L, 54L);
Biology 25L, Biochemistry 227 (or Chemistry 175).
Major Requirements:
Chemistry 117, 131/133L, 151L, 152L, 161 (or 165*); 163L (or 167L); 176
(or 166*)
plus Pharmacology 150, 233;

The A.B. degree program allows greater flexibility
in scheduling and course selection, while still maintaining the integrity
of the Chemistry major. Students with interests in a second under-graduate
major or in advanced work in a professional school (e.g. medical, dental,
veterinary, business, or law) following graduation should consider this
program. Students with an interest in employment in the chemical or a related
industry, or in advanced study in chemistry or a related science (e.g.
biochemistry or pharmacology) may also consider this program, although
they are encouraged to augment their program with additional upper-level
chemistry courses. Students in this category should consult their faculty
advisers early in their junior year. See work sheet versions on pages 19
and 20.

In conjunction with the Department of Biochemistry in the Duke Medical Center, the Chemistry Department is pleased to offer the A.B. degree in Chemistry with Concentration in Biochemistry. This program has proven to be very popular among students pursuing the Health Professions. Official recognition of the completion of the requirements given below occurs on the permanent transcript of a major. (See work sheet version on page 22.)

198S;
Biology 118, 184L, 185L, 191; or any advanced courses in Biochemistry.
In conjunction with the Department of Pharmacology in the Duke Medical Center, the Chemistry Department offers the A.B. degree in Chemistry with a Concentration in Pharmacology. Certification of the Concentration is designated on the official transcript. (See work sheet version on page 23.)
Pharmacology is more than the study of the mode of action of drugs. It is a science which uses the basic concepts of biology and chemistry to determine how drugs affect the organism; it gives a unique perspective in understanding how cells, organ systems, and organisms function. Unlike other basic science fields, pharmacology combines many disciplines so that one can investigate systematically the mechanisms underlying a biological event--from the molecular level to the whole animal. Pharmacology also allows us to study how biological systems fail, providing information on the etiology of disease and on the mechanisms underlying toxic reactions. Pharmacologic research is essential for the development, testing and use of drugs and other bioactive molecules such as pesticides or industrial chemicals.
The objective of Pharmacology as an Area of Concentration for Chemistry Majors is to provide students with knowledge of the basic principles underlying the design and actions of drugs and toxic substances. In addition, it provides the opportunity to apply these principles in a research setting. Ultimately, an introduction of pharmacology to undergraduates will encourage interested students to consider graduate study in the fields of pharmacology and/or medicinal chemistry, leading to a career in academic research, in governmental regulatory agencies, or in industry.
Prerequisites:
Chem 21L and 22L; or 23L; or 19;
Mathematics 31, 32 (or 31L, 32L or 41); Physics 51L, 52L (or 53L, 54L);

SEQUENCE OF COURSES FOR THE A.B. DEGREE
IN CHEMISTRY
The following is a typical schedule for the core and prerequisite courses for a student who does not have advanced placement credits for Chem or Mth and is seeking the A.B. degree. The additional courses listed in the various options above may be taken in the junior or senior year. Prerequisites for some of the options may need to be completed in the freshman or sophomore year. (Symbols are as follows: [ ] represents prerequisite course required for the degree.

*PHY 53L(Fall) - 54L(Spring) may be replaced by
PHY 51L(Spring) - 52L(Fall).
Note: Chemistry 161/163L is a prerequisite for most upper level chemistry course and usually taken in the junior year. Since Physics 52L(or 54L) is prerequisite for Chemistry 161, Physics is normally taken in the sophomore year and Mathematics 31L and 32L in the freshman year. With permission of the course instructor, however, a physics course and Chemistry 161 may be taken concurrently.
Physics and Math courses may be taken at other times, but only with some loss of flexibility in scheduling.
