Biochemistry
A student interested in understanding the molecular basis of living systems may major in Biochemistry, an interdepartmental major offered jointly by the Biology and Chemistry departments. Students in the program are provided a background in the physical sciences necessary to understand life at the molecular level and the opportunity to study living organisms as functioning systems.
The Biochemistry program can offer a solid foundation for admission to graduate programs in Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology, Genetics and related disciplines. Students who major in Biochemistry are also well prepared for medical, dental, veterinary, optometry and other health professional graduate programs.
