Bachelor of Science - Biochemistry

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry offers four bachelor’s degrees, the B.S. in Chemistry, the B.S. in Biochemistry, the B.A. in Chemistry, and the B.A. in Biochemistry, and two master’s degrees, the M.S. in Chemistry and the M.S. in Biochemistry. These programs combined serve over 700 majors. In addition, the Department offers a Minor in Chemistry.

The programs in chemistry and biochemistry at the bachelor’s degree level are planned to develop background in a specific science, to serve as preparation for graduate work in chemistry or biochemistry, and to provide a foundation for those students seeking careers in the chemical sciences, teaching, law, medicine, dentistry, pharmacy and other health‑related professions, and in industrial and governmental scientific occupations.

The B.S. degree in Biochemistry is certified by the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
