Graduates have opportunities in industry, especially the biotechnology sector, in universities and medical schools, and government laboratories. Students who meet the necessary high scholastic standards continue their studies in a graduate college, medical school, or veterinary medical school. Graduates of biochemistry, agricultural biochemistry and biophysics understand the chemical principles of biological systems including molecular biology. They have developed laboratory expertise in modern biochemical techniques, including the ability to analyze data and prepare scientific reports. Most have participated in undergraduate research and have developed the skills necessary for both written and oral presentations at a level that will serve the student both within the university and in postgraduate professional life.
Graduates have the experience of interacting with persons of different background and cultures.
Students have the background in mathematics and physics to solve problems of broad scope in biological, biomedical and environmental sciences and to provide leadership in diverse scientific and technological arenas. For the undergraduate curriculum leading to the degree bachelor of science, see College of Agriculture . Agricultural biochemistry is recommended to students interested in the areas of agriculture requiring strong preparation in biochemistry, chemistry, physics, and mathematics, or in preparation for the study of veterinary medicine. Employment opportunities exist in agrochemical, animal and plant biotechnology. For the undergraduate curriculum leading to the degree bachelor of science, see Liberal Arts and Sciences .
