Students are often interested in learning about the interface between chemistry and biology. The BS in Chemistry (biochemistry option) offers an interdisciplinary program of study whereby students gain a molecular understanding of the biological processes that take place in the world around us. Students pursuing the BS in Chemistry (biochemistry option) complete a series of courses in chemistry, biochemistry, and biology (with possible electives in biomedical engineering), as well as other technical and free electives that compliment their training. Graduates typically pursue careers in medicine, continue their study at the graduate level in the biological or chemical sciences, or take positions in industry or governmental organizations. This degree is certified by the American Chemical Society (ACS).
