<p>True. In conclusion, everything that’s been written is correct. :)</p>
<p>1) Rose, in her independent investigation (thank you), noted that some med/grad schools require a “Biochemistry” course and there is no class @ HC that is titled “Biochemistry”.</p>
<p>2) It’s the observation of Black Squirrel and mine that the topic of biochemistry is woven into numerous chemistry and biology courses at HC even though they’re not titled “biochemistry”. HC science majors will learn the biochemistry that’s taught at peer colleges… AND THEN SOME.</p>
<p>3) It’s my experience that med/grad schools understand this set up @ HC and not taking a course titled “Biochemistry” is not an issue given HC’s reputation in the sciences.</p>

<p>So, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute has given HC the maximum award amount for the last 2 funding cycles. This money is given to recognize undergraduate training in the biomedical sciences and to promote colleges with innovative science curriculums. Not only is this remarkable in itself, but it should be noted that HC is much smaller than all of the other schools listed… so despite “less ways to spend the money”, HHMI still feels that there’s something special and worthwhile about HC sciences that still warrants full funding.</p>
