Not really a rant, but I e-mailed Oregon State yesterday about their pre-req biochem requirement (namely, you need two biochems if you attend a quarter school). My university does not have a sequence of biochem courses. There is just "Introductory Biochemistry" which lasted ten weeks and covered a whole textbook. It was essentially a 15 week semester course squeezed into a quarter (as many classes were on OSU's quarter system). To get more biochem, I would have had to find graduate level courses in other areas like nutrition, food science, meat science, etc. Subject areas that require lots of departmental pre-req's that an Animal Science undergrad would not have and a Public Health graduate would also not have.
I just thought that was strange. I could be wrong, but they're the only school that explicitly states that you need two quarters of biochem.
