The bachelor of science in biochemistry degree can be applied to many disciplines and professions that include medicine, pharmacology, drug research and development, biotechnology, agricultural research, and genetic engineering. Biochemistry is a core discipline that provides the foundation for nearly all advances in all fields related to health professions, biotechnology, and agriculture. The program offers a combination of biology, chemistry, math, and physics classes that prepare students especially well for successful entry into the work force.

Many of our biochemistry majors are involved in research projects in their areas of interest. Independent research projects with biology, chemistry, or medical school faculty provide students with valuable hands on experience in the laboratory. A large percentage of our students present their research at regional and/or national meetings. Most of our biochemistry majors graduate with a double major: a BS in biochemistry and a BA in chemistry. They are highly employable.
