化学和生物联合专业

The disciplines of biology and chemistry are undergoing remarkable and converging transformations. 为了应对这些新的发展, Harvey Mudd College has established a unique opportunity for undergraduate students at the interface of biology and chemistry.

目标是让学生在界面上思考, to effortlessly move back and forth between chemistry and biology. They will have the background to appreciate the biological context of their research questions and they will have mastered the chemistry fundamentals that underlie the 属性 and reactions of biomolecules. These successful students will be able to make connections and have insights that are difficult to obtain without a thorough training in both chemistry and biology. The program in chemistry and biology will capture the imaginations of talented Harvey Mudd students and reinforce their abilities to think across disciplines.

Many schools have used the terms "生物化学" or "biological chemistry" and some of the newer programs call themselves "chemical biology." But since the boundaries between chemistry and biology as separate disciplines are rapidly dissolving, and students can choose to steer their studies in many directions, we chose to call it simply the "化学和生物联合专业."
