BS Chemistry - Biochemistry

Biochemistry deals with the chemical foundations and properties for all living processes. Research by biochemists increases our knowledge about chemicals and processes that govern the living world and has led to the discovery and development of new and improved medicines, agricultural breakthroughs, and other areas that unveil the mysteries of living things. The biochemistry option can prepare you for a career as a scientist, researcher, professor, or developer. This is a great major for those interested in traditional biochemistry, forensic DNA analysis, biotechnology, or professional studies, such as medicine.
