Science & Mathematics / 117 Track of Studies and International Programs: Applied Physics students may utilize the flexibility built in the AP curriculum to use their elective courses toward a collection of courses in a specific area of engineering or a cohesive collection of science and mathematics courses. This in particular could be useful in designing a track of studies that may facilitate student participation in an existing study abroad program. This may also be useful in better planning and preparing for future graduate studies. For further information about this please contact Professor Roughani (apchair@kettering.edu). CHEMISTRY AND BIOCHEMISTRY Diana A. Phillips, Ph.D., Program Director Room 3-107 MC, 810-762-9920 dphillip@kettering.edu BIOCHEMISTRY OVERVIEW The Bachelor of Sciences Degree in Biochemistry provides students with a strong foundation in the principles of biologically-oriented chemistry and introduces students to a broad range of topics that comprise the large and dynamic field of biochemistry. Students in the biochemistry program take courses and laboratories in all of the major chemical sub-disciplines including organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry and analytical chemistry. Additional special emphasis in the biological area will be achieved by taking courses and laboratories in biology and biochemistry. All Biochemistry students will have several terms of cooperative work experience so that concepts learned in the classroom can be applied to real world problems. Students in this program will also work closely with faculty members on research projects as part of their undergraduate education and training. A Biochemistry degree provides an excellent foundation for careers in biotechnology, medicine, pharmacology, environmental fields, technical management, education, business, and law.
