Biochemistry, B.A.

The B.A. in Biochemistry program is designed for undergraduates who desire to understand how chemistry and biology can work together to improve health outcomes. This degree offers a large amount of flexibility with ample room for numerous electives. Graduates of this program will be qualified to apply for admission to graduate programs in the sciences or colleges/schools in the medical field. Graduates who wish to enter the workforce rather than move on to more advanced degrees will be qualified to work as laboratory assistants/technicians, or work in other fields that require training in the chemical sciences.This program provides a foundational background in chemistry, the biological sciences, physics, and mathematics as well as a broad general education in the liberal arts and social sciences. Advanced courses in the degree include courses in biochemistry, molecular biology, physical and analytical chemistry. The combined curriculum also allows for research opportunities for students to develop their skills beyond their coursework experiences.
