Biochemistry
The degree program in Biochemistry is intended to prepare
students for entrance into post-baccalaureate programs in
the health professions or the basic sciences. Biochemistry is
becoming an increasingly popular career path for many scientists
as the basic scientific fields of chemistry and biology
intertwine. The program in Biochemistry will offer students
a strong foundation in both the biological and chemical sciences
with opportunities to construct their degree program
to best suit their interests.
