Targeted Infusion Project: Implementation of an Integrative B.S. degree Program in Biochemistry within the Department of Chemistry

这个定向输液项目的目标是在化学系内实施生物化学综合理科学士学位课程。该项目的课程于2009年春季获得大学教职员工的批准。提供生物化学学士学位的决定是在我们的化学毕业生几年来的反馈意见之后做出的，这些反馈表明，我们需要一门本科课程，允许更多的人接触和体验生物学。与许多化学课程一样，汉普顿的化学课程是按照传统的单一学科思维设计的，允许跨学科交叉受精的机会非常有限。我们的化学专业只需要两门入门级的生物学课程(生物学概论一和生物概论二)。在培养未来科学家的过程中，项目整合正变得越来越必要。随着这一计划的实施，化学系将提供两个学士学位：传统的化学学士学位和生物化学学士学位。这两个学位项目都符合美国化学学会的认证要求。

The goal of this Targeted Infusion project is to implement an integrative B.S. degree program in Biochemistry within the Department of Chemistry. The curriculum for this program was approved by the University Faculty in the spring of 2009. The decision to offer a B.S. in Biochemistry was made following several years of feedback from our chemistry graduates that pointed to the need for an undergraduate curriculum that allows more exposure and experience in biology. As is the case with many Chemistry programs, the Chemistry program at Hampton is designed along the traditional single discipline mentality, allowing for very limited opportunity for interdisciplinary cross-fertilization. Only two entry level biology courses (introduction to Biology I&II) are required for our chemistry majors. Program integration is becoming increasingly necessary in the preparation of future scientists. With the implementation of this program, the Department of Chemistry will offer two baccalaureate degrees: the traditional B.S. degree in Chemistry, and a B.S. degree in Biochemistry. Both degree programs meet the American Chemical Society certification requirements.
