The Biochemistry major

The Bachelor of Science (BS) will provide the greatest depth of preparation for medicine, biolochemical research and other challenging careers in the life sciences. The biochemistry major is truly interdisciplinary, including coursework in cellular and molecular biology, chemistry and biochemistry. Research and a "capstone" course in current biochemical research and ethics are additional features of the major.

The Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in biochemistry is similar to the BS degree but requires fewer hours in biology and chemistry. It offers somewhat less flexibility in advanced electives but may be a useful option for transfer students or those changing their majors to biology. Like the BS, it provides appropriate preparation for a variety of careers.
