Biochemistry is the branch of chemistry that deals with living systems. As a biochemistry major, you will receive a solid foundation in chemistry and biology and gain an appreciation of how these sciences are integrated.
Emphasis is placed on course work in chemistry, biology, biochemistry, mathematics, and physics.
Qualifying students may also pursue areas of special interest through undergraduate research. This curriculum is an excellent preparation for post-graduate study in biochemistry or related sciences as well as for study in professional schools including medical and veterinary colleges. Careers in academia and government will be available to you because of the strong scientific background and laboratory work experience gained through this undergraduate program. Academic and government research laboratories have a constant demand for biochemists. Colleges and universities through their biochemistry and chemistry departments as well as medical, veterinary, and dental schools need biochemists.
