Biochemistry is a subject involved with the exploration of the molecular processes of life and reflects the intersection of chemistry and biology needed to understand these processes. The major in biochemistry is designed to meet the needs of students interested in this interdisciplinary subject. Students completing a major in biochemistry will be prepared for careers in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, for pursuit of graduate degrees in biochemistry or chemistry, and for entry into medical, veterinary, dental, or pharmacy schools. This degree program follows guidelines suggested by the American Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology for an undergraduate degree in biochemistry.
