Biochemistry Learning Outcomes

The biochemistry major prepares students for work and further study in perhaps the most exciting area of science - the interface between biology, chemistry and physics. This major provides students with a broad understanding of life at the cellular and molecular level, and prepares them for careers in biotechnology, biomedical research, or health care.

ASBMB Standards

The curriculum for Bachelor of Science meets the recommendations of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and requires a combination of selected courses from biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics.

Program Oversight

The biochemistry major is overseen by the School of Natural Science. Courses with ASI, BIO, CHE, NSC and PHY numbers are administered by this school. Questions about the major should be directed to the school dean.
