The Biochemistry program prepares students for positions in fields related to biochemistry in industry and government, as well as for graduate study in biochemistry, molecular biology and health-related professions such as medicine, pharmacy and dentistry. Students have the opportunity to learn to understand and solve problems at the interface of chemistry and biology through courses featuring active learning techniques and hands-on laboratory experiences. 

For students enrolled in this interdisciplinary program, the completion of a second major, a minor, or the Teacher Education Professional Studies Certificate program is optional.  In accordance with College of Arts and Sciences policy, it includes sufficient credits and breadth of content on its own.  Biochemistry majors may not declare a minor in Biology or Chemistry.
