Bachelor of Science - Chemistry - Biochemistry

Majoring in chemistry is ideal for students that want to work in a laboratory or attend graduate or professional schools. The biochemistry concentration is ideal for students that want to further their studies in health-related professional schools such as medical, pharmacy, or dental schools. The professional chemistry concentration is designed to meet requirements for an American Chemical Society accredited degree and is most helpful for students that want to attend graduate school in chemistry in the pursuit of a M.S. or Ph.D. in chemistry.
