Biochemistry

Introduction

Biochemistry is an interdisciplinary program that deals with understanding the chemical processes of living matter. A knowledge of biochemistry is essential to fully understand most of the biological disciplines. This major is beneficial for students who are interested in chemistry and biology, and for pre-med students. Students can also prepare for graduate studies in biochemistry, as well as such fields as genetics, microbiology, physiology, immunology, and other biological and chemical fields. Biochemistry graduates may work for laboratories and pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies.
