These provide the student with an opportunity to gain valuable work experience in a research environment while earning academic credit. The program in biochemistry trains students to be directly employable at the Bachelor's degree level in a wide variety of fields. Graduates frequently find positions with major chemical and pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, the food industry, clinical laboratories, scientific equipment suppliers, and various university, government, and medical research laboratories. Biochemistry majors are particularly well trained to undertake graduate work in biochemistry and in many areas related to the health sciences such as microbiology, cell or molecular biology, pharmacology, virology, physiology, nutrition, and environmental law. Biochemistry majors enjoy a high success rate in acceptance into medical and dental schools.
