Biochemistry is a fundamental part of the emerging agri-tech industry, as well as many more traditional fields such as food, pharmaceuticals, biological analysis, and specialty chemicals.
Many medical problems are of a biochemical nature.
This curriculum combines, in an integrated whole, those areas of biology, chemistry, and related sciences which are important in this emerging field. Specific biochemistry course work then completes the program, preparing students for their chosen careers.
