The Biochemistry major combines aspects of both chemistry and biology into one program. The Biochemistry degree focuses on the study of the chemistry of living organisms. In this major, you will take a wide range of science and math courses including organic chemistry, genetics, biochemistry, analytical chemistry, and molecular biology. You will learn how to work in laboratories and have beyond the classroom experiences to apply the concepts you’ve learned.
Upon completion of the Biochemistry major, you can pursue careers such as a chemist, biologist, engineer, or forensic scientist, work in biotechnology, pharmaceutical manufacturing, clinical laboratories, or research, or continue to medical school, pharmacy programs, and graduate studies in science related fields.
From your first day, you’ll take courses in your major and advance towards graduation with a yearly plan. Not sure what classes to take? We’ll help you create the perfect plan.
