The Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry specialization
in biochemistry provides students with a strong background and preparation
in current practices in biochemical processes. This training prepares
students for graduate study in biochemistry, pre-professional fields
such as pre-medicine, pre-dental, and pre-veterinary as well as
for employment in both the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors
and chemistry teaching. The degree requires a thorough foundation
in chemistry with additional courses in biology, physics and calculus
to complete the educational preparation.
Students interested in graduate study in biochemistry
are strongly encouraged to choose CHE 356, 357, and 366 for part
of their elective chemistry courses. Many graduate schools require
a semester or a year (depending on the school) of physical chemistry. |
