Registration

New student registration for those students on the UMB campus (MBIC) will be taken care of by Kathleen Reinecke in the first semester of your studies only. From then on, you will be contacted via notices posted by Kathleen as to when and where you should register. It is your responsibility to make sure you are taking the correct courses. However, it is strongly suggested that new students contact one of the Program Directors to discuss in detail the courses that you should be taking in your first year.

New student registration for those students on the UMBC campus (BIOC) will be contacted by the Registrar's Office as to where and when registration will take place. New students should contact Audrey Mahoney in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Office at UMBC to schedule an appointment to meet with one of the program directors prior to registration.

In your second year, you should discuss your course selections with your mentor. When choosing your courses, please keep in mind the five areas of biochemistry that you will be tested on in your qualifying examination. They are molecular biology, enzymology and bio-organic chemistry, physical biochemistry; metabolism and regulation and biochemistry of structure and function.
