Course Overview

Biochemists focus on the chemistry of life. The biochemistry major provides knowledge in chemistry, biochemistry, and biology which will prepare you to consider real-world problems from a variety of perspectives. You will be able to immediately contribute your skills in corporate, health care, or government positions. You will also be ready to enter professional education in medicine or other health-related fields or attend graduate programs in a variety of chemical and life sciences related programs.

Biochemistry majors often have an interest in combining the life and health sciences with a chemistry degree. You’ll take a year of general biology in addition to a typical chemistry curriculum. During the upper-level years, you’ll take a substantial core of courses in biochemistry, physical chemistry, the liberal arts, and elective courses in life sciences. You must take a minimum of two upper-division biology electives.

Employment opportunities for biochemistry students are available in the chemical, pharmaceutical, agricultural, forensic, and rapidly expanding biotechnological fields. You’ll also be well-prepared to enter advanced degree programs in biochemistry, medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, and veterinary medicine.
